I'd like to propose an alternate tact... Go buy another tree and plant it right on the property line but in *your* yard. Plant it so it's all tippy and hanging over into her property, hopefully so it drops shit all over where she doesn't want it.
When she starts to complain, you can reach an amicable agreement of setting both of them on fire. Just make sure that when you do so, they don't make a crossed shape. That could be considered a hate crime.
Good luck. Let me know how it all works out when you get back from jail.

Not planning a move anytime soon. I guess I could just put the much less popular vehicle on that side of the driveway and pray nightly that the clouds part and a giant lightening bolt strikes it....

You said it's sickly...
would getting it trimmed properly and making it healthy perchance help out with how much shit it's dropping? At the very least it'll help with it being an eye sore if it was happy and shaped properly.
Maybe she'd be willing to get that done, or split it.

Why is that surprising? You legally cannot encroach on to someone else's property. Just because someone was a tool and decided to plant a massive tree near the property line, does not alleviate them from anything crossing over the line.
So what you are saying is I can build an extension to my house and as long as it is only supported from my side of the property, you have no right to complain if it comes over on to your property?

My dad in upstate NY had a similar problem. Tree was on a neighbor's yard, with a fence in between yards. He asked the neighbor to trim the tree, neighbor said no. It was dropping green baseball sized nuts on our yard and killing our lawnmower blades. The city sided with the neighbor.
So I suggested that my dad write a sympathetic letter to the neighbor pleading with him to trim it, that my dad would help do it, play nice, blah blah blah. The neighbor relented and trimmed it. By dad then bought a 24 pack of beer for the neighbor, and now they get along quite nicely.
Where I live I can't touch my neighbor's trees without permission from the neighbor when the tree is rooted on their property, and I live in a very nice neighborhood.

Hmm. Here, it's like others have said; if it encroaches onto my property, I can deal with it.
I have one neighbor with some sort of hell tree that has shot roots all through my yard, even up to my foundation. The damn things run just below the surface and occasionally pop-up to the surface in these huge knots.
So I hack the shit out of them with a hatchet (I pretend it's a tomahawk and that I'm a lot more badderass than I really am) and salt their corpses (not really a corpse, but it's my story).
So I guess YMMV.
EDIT: I should also point out that my neighborhood used to be a nice neighborhood but it's been going downhill since I moved in. Don't know why; it happened at the last place I lived too.
