    If you prefer not to block out the light for others, does that mean that you would avoid growing a tree? I have trees and shrubs for privacy and hadn’t really considered the light aspect

    American HOAs will generally not allow growing food in a visible area. Space may only be wasted and as devoid of life as possible

      Trees are allowed but if they are so big they block out a significant amount of sunlight to neighbours then they might be able to complain and you have to cut it back. Not sure on the fine details of it, but just a bit of shade is fine too.
