How much salt water to kill a tree?

Neighbor has a tree that shits leaves and gunk all over our back patio and the roots are coming under our fence and fucking up our concrete. I want to start spraying the limbs hanging over our fence with salt water and pour buckets of the stuff down on the roots if necessary. Approx how much salt am I going to need and how long do I need to keep dousing it to see this tree dead? Tree is approx. 20 foot tall and 10 years old.

Keep crying and find out. Petty suburban problems.

There’s a reason why plants are called complex interconnected organisms. If you put salt on the soil where that tree is growing, it also might reach to other plants in the area and kill them as well.

sodium aint going to cut it. What you want to do is make a nightmare solution of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potasium and put that on the roots.

LordGimp OP ,

Oh shit and find some really nasty manure to go on there too just to make it really cook.

Actually, nitrogen might be the way. Liquid nitrogen kills shit real good. Bore a hole down next to the trunk and funnel in a beaker or so to try to kill the taproot?

HubertManne ,

yeah exactly. gotta give it time though. trees don't just die overnight. might help to limit how much photosynthesis it can do by cutting off the ends of branches to because that is where it does the most.
