Did they need your permission to remove the trees?

No OP, but likely the easement allowed them to do it. Just like the power company will trim your trees without asking.

No: the ditch company had the easement and the right to deal with their ditch and its problems. They dealt with me fairly and covered all the costs: I feel pretty fortunate that no serious damage to my or other peoples property occurred. That part was luck.
