Talmud for Kilayim 3:5
נוֹטֵעַ אָדָם קִשּׁוּת וּדְלַעַת לְתוֹךְ גֻּמָּא אַחַת, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁתְּהֵא זוֹ נוֹטָה לְצַד זֶה, וְזוֹ נוֹטָה לְצַד זֶה, וְנוֹטֶה שֵׂעָר שֶׁל זוֹ לְכָאן, וְשֵׂעָר שֶׁל זוֹ לְכָאן. שֶׁכָּל מַה שֶּׁאָסְרוּ חֲכָמִים, לֹא גָזְרוּ אֶלָּא מִפְּנֵי מַרְאִית הָעָיִן:
A man may plants cucumbers and gourds in the same hole, provided that this one leans towards this side [of the hole] and this one leans towards the other side, and the foliage of this one leans to this side and the foliage of this one leans to the other side, because whatever the Sages prohibited [in this case <i>kilayim</i>], they have decreed only for the sake of appearances.

According to R. Abraham ben David, all the carob trees a man can see while standing on top of one of them. According to the second opinion, fences are never a problem for carob trees.. Rabban Gamliel76Rabban Gamliel of Jabneh, speaking of the family of Hillel. said, in my father’s house they used to give one peah for the olive trees they had in every direction77Four peot for all olive trees in all four main directions. and for all carobs that saw one another. Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Ẓadoq said in the former’s name: also for all carob trees they had in the entire town.
