Toon Tree Menace

You know Spring has arrived when you see the bright pink new leaves making a spectacular show on the Chinese Toon tree (Toona sinensis).

Our neighbour's tree is pretty in Spring but fairly inconspicuous the rest of the year, when the leaves revert to green. 

The problem is, it suckers and is planted too close to our driveway wall and damage is beginning to show. 

There have been discussions over solutions, but nothing has been done yet.

I've been told it's not my problem to worry about, so I'll just enjoy the pretty leaf colour while it lasts.
