Advice on a tree

Hi all

I have a dwarf apple tree and a malus crab apple blossom tree. I want one to go in my border, the first section of my garden is cottage garden inspired, there is two trees on the right hand side from previous owners and no trees on the left, I need something for height.

I was thinking the owners on the right already have an apple tree in Thier garden, surely they won't mind if one of mine drops into Thiers haha, I did think will my other neighbors get annoyed if any blossom blows into Thier garden 🙄 think I'm overthinking things again. Anyhow let me know, or any other trees that go well in borders, I do have a magnolia in a pot but it's still so small. I also don't want the trees that train against the fence.

Thanks

unless covered by some legal agreement, you can plant pretty much what you like so long as it doesn't damage your neighbours property. Even so, I would let them know what you are planning to do, just out of courtesy.

@Ifailed yeah that's probably a decent thing to do, thanks for your reply.

While that's true it can cause inconvenience. Our neighbours planted two trees very close to our boundary and not only do they now shade out all the afternoon sun, the canopies extend some distance over our garden stopping anything much growing underneath them and are too tall for us to easily cut back to the boundary as they are now taller than the houses. So I'd say so long as they aren't going to dwarf the neighbours in that manner go ahead.
