Yes you read it right! These green mangoes are from our neighbor's tree whose branches are dangling in our side and it is damaging our iron sheets on our roof. So this is what usually happens , since its branches is dangling the mangoes are falling straight in our iron sheets and everyday its like we are being bombed when it falls on our roof. We just cant cut those branches because its not our tree, sad part is that the owners are not here so we cant really cut them. My brother decided to clean our roof and he put away the fallen mangoes . It has resin that is very acidic that can damage our iron sheets used in our roof. Our plan is to discuss it with our neighbor when they got back .We have to do something because when the wind blows, the mango fruit will fall and its like were being bombed when it lands in our iron sheets. p.s. the green mangoes that we harvest from our neighbor's tree.

I think you can trim the branches that is dangling on your side of your property. Since there are no owners, I do not think they would mind if you cut the branches that crossed over your property line. I think even the electric companies does that if the branches of trees are dangling on electric posts they can cut the branches that touch them.

Here, I'm sure you can cut off branches that hang over into your yard. It seems only fair that you can do this.

Usually I will add the plum powder to the green mangoes and it will taste better. I learned this way when I travelled to Thailand.

Really? But according to Article 681 of the Civil Code of the Philippines, fruits naturally falling upon adjacent land belong to the owner of said land.

I love to eat mangoes. Some of it are sour, but most of it are sweet.
