This conifer clash cuts deep.

A New Jersey homeowner chopped down 32 of his neighbor’s trees along a hilltop with Manhattan skyline views in a tony New Jersey town — and he could now be forced to fork over more than $1.5 million in fines and replacement fees, according to officials and reports.

Grant Haber, of Kinnelon, was hit with an initial fine of $32,000 — $1,000 per axed tree — after clearing part of the land next to his bucolic, 7-acre property in March, borough forester John Linson told northjersey.com Tuesday.

The fir-centric fight went viral when a friend of Linson, Sam Glickman, tweeted that it will likely also cost additional  $1.5 million to replace the trees on the compound, which sits about 35 miles west of the Big Apple. 

“[The] guy probably thought he was going to just pay a $32k fine. But…there’s a provision requiring the replanting of like trees “of the same size,” Glickman wrote in the post, which had raked in more than 3.8 million views by Wednesday.

A town ordinance requires anyone who illegally removes a tree in Kinnelon to replace it with “another of like or superior species.”

But the root of  the problem is that replacing trees next to Haber’s $1.75 estate — which boasts an in-ground pool and five bedrooms — will likely require building a roadway to the semi-remote patch of land, then watering the saplings for two years, Glickman wrote.

Two contractors hired by Haber to do the tree chopping may also be fined an additional $400,000, he said.

Glickman’s tweet drew so many people to a court hearing against Haber via Zoom Tuesday evening that it reached its 100-person capacity, and the town prosecutor was initially unable to log on, according to Gothamist.

The Kinnelon municipal court hearing was ultimately postponed when defense attorney Matthew Meuller said he needed more time to review discovery in the case. It was rescheduled for July 18.

Linson declined to comment to northjersey.com on a total estimate for what  Haber could end up owing, other than to say Glickman’s figure was “slightly exaggerated.”

“I am only able to state that 32 trees were removed without a permit,” Linson said.

Municipal officials haven’t confirmed a total pricetag for conifer cutting, and Kinnelon town prosecutor Kim  Kassar declined to comment to The Post Wednesday.

Nobody answered the door at Haber’s home at 72 Denise Dr. on Wednesday.
