In these parts the rules are more subtle.
You do not have to accept overhanging vetegation,
but you are not allowed to remove it either.
You can ask your neighbour, if necessary in writing, to remove it.
If he doesn't comply you do have the right to remove it yourself.
(provided you do not kill the tree by doing so)

So you can have the fruits,
if your neighbour hasn't taken them first.
You can also make a deal, like:
I will tolerate your overhanging branches if you....

Ja, ik denk dat je [overhangende vegetatie] 'vegetation' auf englisch bedoelt.
