Bacteria, not virus. And I doubt that one evolved to ferment milk would survive long in a tree. If you want a biological approach, maybe honey-fungus?Ring barking should work. Not sure how deep you need to go, or how to make it unnoticeable.
Lots of sites say the copper nails thing is a myth.
I inadvertently killed one of my neighbour's Leylandii with tap water because a disused pipe running off my supply had corroded.
It's not the cheapest solution, it was followed by a call from Yorkshire Water to discuss my £6500 water bill and whether they thought I might have a leak
They wrote it off at least but it's still cost me the price of a new tree for my neighbour.

But it's not a hedge, its a tree in the second parties garden. What are the rules on that ?https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa...

6. Can I complain to the Council about individual trees?
No. Follow the steps in the leaflet ‘Over the garden hedge’ to try to settle your dispute.

As others have said, by far the simplest starting point is to offer to get it trimmed or cut down professionally, at your expense.
If they won't agree to that then you are probably going to have a hard time full stop.
Regarding TPOs, while it's unlikely to have a TPO on it, if you're in a conservation area, then you (or rather he) would probably still need to seek permission.

I'd be highly surprised to find an urban garden conifer to have a TPO on it. ( unless someone historic once pissed on it)
Unless you're in an area where everything over a certain size has a TPO by default.pinchmeimdreamin said:
