Am I Liable For Damage To Neighbor's Pool Filter?

Location: California. The neighbor behind us is constantly complaining about our trees shedding into her pool. We have trimmed the trees so the nearest branch is a couple feet from the fence line. However, the trees are about 5 feet taller than the fence, so I suppose the wind blows the leaves into her pool. She wants us to basically decapitate the trees so they are shorter than the fence line. I refuse to do this. Her house is behind us on a hill, so we like the trees for privacy. She has a giant rock slide built in right up against our fence (which is too close to the fence line per county regulations, by the way), and we can see her grandkids up there. We don't like them peering into our yard, and they have historically thrown garbage/balls/etc over the fence. So we like the trees as an extra barrier and for privacy. I think it's unreasonable for her to expect all her neighbors to have trees under 6 feet.

So anyway - am I responsible if my tree droppings are clogging her pool filters or "causing her extra work" to have to skim the pool?

Edit: I have been sent photos of the "excessive foliage" and I literally laughed it was so minimal. I can't seem to upload them here and I'm technologically illiterate, so if someone knows how to link them, let me know.
