Jerusalem Talmud Bava Batra

MISHNAH: If a tree overhangs another’s field, he may cut it in the height of the plough’s ox-goad104He may cut all overhanging branches of a fruit tree to the height of the ox-goad used with his plough.; carob tree and sycamore along the plumb line105The owner of the field may cut these trees vertically at his property line.. Over an irrigated field along the plumb line105The owner of the field may cut these trees vertically at his property line.. Abba Shaul says, every non-fruit-bearing tree along the plumb line105The owner of the field may cut these trees vertically at his property line..
If a tree overhangs the public domain, one has to cut it so that a camel with a rider on it may pass; Rebbi Jehudah says, loaded with flax or bundles of vine cuttings109They are very light and take up a large volume.. Rebbi Simeon says, any tree [must be cut] along the plumb line because of impurity105,The owner of the field may cut these trees vertically at his property line.110R. Simeon essentially rejects the rabbis’ rule as following Gentile law (Corpus iuris, Decretum de arboribus caedendis requires that branches overhanging a public road must be cut up to a height of 15 Roman pedes, not quite 4.5 m.) He insists on a Jewish rationale. The impurity of the dead is transferred not only by touch but by being under one “tent” with a corpse. The crown of a tree forms such a “tent.” If the tree overhangs a road but grows inside a fence or wall which obstructs the view, a person passing under it could be inadvertentently become severely impure (cf. Nazir 7:3, Notes 163–164). Therefore, in the Land of Israel all overhangs have to be eliminated. He has no rules for other countries..
