Yes because when the ground is soaked and the wind has been blowing 40mph+ for 12 hours or more only dead trees/limbs down.....

Perfectly healthy trees fall too. Our neighbors' tree was healthy and it fell on our house. I do agree that dead trees need to be removed (and I'm sure the insurance companies agree too), but don't kid yourself that only dead and diseased trees do damage.

thanks for praying for my family. There's a huge elm and the owner told me a week ago that he hopes it hangs on for awhile longer. Fantastic.

Please just just move to Phoenix, Az or Las Vegas or something, and leave the deciduous trees to those of us who love nature of the east coast.

Good for you , I can do whatever I want to my property , you can do what you want. In fact what I did removes my neighbors ' fear of tree falling our branches. Your selfish crap can kill or destroy other peoples properties.

We just had a tree removed yesterday. It was not dead but in a precarious position with regard to our wires, our neighbor's wires and both houses. Our neighbor had mentioned it and offered to go half on it. We took him up on the offer!

We just paid "Jack the Ripper" to take out a large bradford pear so it wouldn't crash into our neighbor's yard. Love that name.

We did this. Cut the limbs overhanging onto our property. However, that means jack sh&t when the entire tree falls down.

I'm not anti-tree. I love trees. But something like a huge poplar isn't meant to be around houses. Take it down and plant a more appropriate tree. PEPCO gives out trees for free yearly if you can't afford to buy one.

I think poplars are good strong trees.

Please pray for employees of ahole bosses who want to MAKE their employees come to work tomorrow.

1. Pray for the people throughout the United States who have lost their jobs and have no hope of future jobs
2. Pray for those suffering from grave illnesses
3. Pray for the people serving in Afghanistan
4. Pray for the people in the many countries of the word where war is raging
5. Pray for children throughout the world who have no hope of a better life because of any accident of birth
6. Pray for selfish neighbors to trim or take down dying trees

OP. I believe your frivolous use of prayer is a grave and mortal sin. I will meddle in these interpersonal affairs of humans.

We just need to get the law changed so that if the tree is on your property and it causes damages to someone else's property, you have to pay. Liability would get people changing their minds real fast about trimming their own trees.

Not everyone can afford to trim their trees. It is very costly. If you want the trees trimmed over your property regardless of who owns the tree, go for it. Otherwise, don't be so dramatic.

You don't need the neighbor's permission to trim limbs hanging over your property.

But that means I would have to pay for it.....

You obviously didn't read. The first two posters talk about offering to pay for the tree removal.
