Chris Pine Is Stuck in Very Suburban Battle Over Ficus Trees
Anyone who’s ever lived in the ’burbs knows what a thorny topic landscaping can be, and for the past couple years, Chris Pine has apparently been learning that first-hand.
According to TMZ, our best Chris planted some ficus trees along the border of his Hollywood Hills property that have since sprouted into a two-year legal battle with his neighbor—music attorney Helen Yu. According to court documents, TMZ reports, Yu claims that the roots from Pine’s trees are encroaching on her property, including the foundation of her home, and that they’ve damaged her yard.
Meanwhile, Pine reportedly claims that Yu’s fence actually intrudes on his side of the property line. (At the time of writing, his camp has not yet responded to the tabloid’s request for comment.) Where’s a homeowner’s association when you need it?
