I recently wrote a column for Maryland Grows blog, a blog that is utilized by the University of Maryland Extension’s Home and Garden Information Center, discussing potential legal issues when a neighbor will not take care of a diseased tree.

Rural landowners have typically not been held to the same duty of care.
