Description
This is an action for damages and for injunctive relief. The plaintiff and defendant owned adjoining lands. There was a row of "Athel" trees immediately south of defendants south line, growing on a strip over which plaintiffs predecessor had deeded a right of way for drainage purposes to the Imperial Irrigation District. The drainage ditch ran between this row of trees and the plaintiffs citrus grove. It appears, without conflict, that the roots and branches of these trees had for many years caused serious damage to defendants property. The evidence is conflicting as to whether the value of these trees to the plaintiff, as a windbreak, was greater or less than their detriment to his land. With the permission of plaintiffs predecessor defendant cut these trees down several times, this tree being hard to kill and having a rapid regrowth. The last of these cuttings occurred shortly after the plaintiff acquired his property. The plaintiff then had his attorney write the defendant a letter. Two years later, while the defendant was again cutting these trees and removing the stumps, this action was brought.
