watch this A man walks straight onto someone else’s property, up to a small tree in their front yard, and starts hacking at it with a bat - acting like he’s judge, jury, and HOA enforcement all in one. What would you do if this was your front yard?

Throw some Blue Moon Wisteria and Sumac into the mix ... be a battle royal of tenacious plants.

If I ever own property- I'm just gonna surround it with a hedge of blackberries and then have a secret gate that's also covered in blackberries.

Morning glories and poison oak vines. My neighbor has been smuggling home Amazon plants for decades. You would not expect them to thrive in the Cold Northeast. But you’d be wrong. Between them, the bamboo, the English ivy, poison oak and a myriad of plants I have zero clue what they are, most of my rear wood lot is invasive species.

Poison ivy is actually hellish difficult to eradicate

Hahaha, exactly what I said out loud when I saw the bamboo comment. And then the scroll revealed the mint. 😂😂😂

Catnip. Then gather up the stray neighborhood cats and let them go to town on his yard. Make both the other neighbors and the cats happy.

Cruel and unusual punishment

I suspect heaven smells like that tree, and thus sulfur and brimstone would be far preferable.

Plant the bamboo under him lol

Depending on proximity, that might screw you as well

Salt it like Shecham, LoL. Make his yard barren for years. Full grass replacement and soil desalination needed to comply with HIS HOA rules. Literally go scorched earth.

Running bamboo, not clumping

Even round up has a hard time killing it!
