David, Visit with some local tree experts there in Abilene, about moveing your Pecan tree. Even a 7in diameter tree (measured @ 6 inces above the soil grade line) can be successfully moved just need a good tree mover with a 90 in tree spade to do it. The kind of spade I am mentioning is usually found on the back of a Twin-screw Semi tractor. Your soil there might be a factor depending on the rock. So on the other hand it can be hand dug, B&B ed, then moved to a new hole on your place. We are in the Perfect time of year to move trees here in Texas. It will run into some cost to relocate the pecan tree. But to start cutting on his tree, even thoug you are with in your rights to do so will open up hurts, liability, and cause damage that you may not recover from, fianically, personally, later emotionally, ridicule from neighbors who can't belive you did that to this stately old tree, ect.,etc.,....
Anytime one goes to cutting on a tree that grows over anothers property line, without visiting with the owner,and discussing the situation. whether the trimm job is necessary or just anoying you,,,You are basically taking your life in your own hands. Womacks nursery at Deleon, may be able to shed some light on this subject for you. Though they speecialize in large quanities of fruit, nut trees for the local growers of Cen-Tex..
BEFORE you go to a Lawyer VISIT with your neighbor first, about problems, potetial problems etc, etc, etc. Hope this helps!
Later,
John A.
