Sorry I directed my message to Chinese and Indians. I have nothing against them as races. In fact the indian is one of my favorite cultures and love to have them as my neighbors.
With that said, there's a large influx of chinese and indians where I leave so it just happened that those who cut trees were Indians and Chinese. I apologize.
So to ANYONE moving in: Don't cut trees please.
Since this will go on for 72 more pages, just change it to "don't cut HEALTHY trees please."
Non westernized Chinese seem to hate trees. They have no problems cutting down big beautiful healthy trees.
I'm first gen american so I love my trees. And the dying trees that I have cut down I at least personally split into logs for my wood burning fire place insert.
When I first moved to my house in East Hills, my mom advised me to cut all the trees in my front yard. Hell no.
Almost none of that applies to diseased, overgrown, non-native trees used for century old urban development. And better yet, it's promo material for a landscaping company, one that likely sells trees. lmfao

Could you explain to me what an overgrown tree is? I keep hearing that and personally think it's BS.
Maybe they didn't plan well its placement. But overgrown? No such thing.
I understand cutting branches. Not the whole tree though.
Also cutting a tree just because it's not native to the area? C'mon.
Then you have those who are afraid it'll fall on their house. If we all think like that we better remove absolutely every tree on Long island. BC they can fall when a car is passing by or whatever.
It's an irrational fear and one that you need to think if you can live with BEFORE you move into a wooded area.
And finally the insurance companies requesting trees to be cut. Of course they will ask for that. They only care about their money. Give your business to an insurance company that cares about our environment.
This thread is live action for me. The town is removing a tree across the street on the egress. During the last storm 30% of it got ripped off and crushed a fence.
Trees make leaves.
Leaves make your yard messy.
Then people show up at 6AM on a Saturday with big block leaf blowers with dual exhaust a 4bbl carb and 4 on the floor.
Then everyone complains.
That’s why trees are bad.

Science. Not every tree is a redwood and all have different projected life spans even if treated immaculately it's whole life. Older trees suffer rot, cancers, age related issues like everything else. If the life span is 40-60 years before they are KNOWN to be dangerous, wouldn't you say an 80 yr old tree might be "overgrown?" The problem is you cant see the disease and rot so easily much of the time (or who BUT the individual homeowner has time to look and care) and we don't find out until the next storm takes out houses and power lines.
This is a silly moot topic anyway. Another goofy LI entitled whiner fest. Remove the danger trees and replace them with NATIVE, hearty growing 200+ year old trees. The homeowner can make that cost decision. Bill Levitt (and most other developers) when slapping this suburban dump up, bought cheaper, non-native trees to keep the home prices cheap. Most of the southern half of LI had NO or few trees. We never had north shore style woods, hills and trees. We had potato fields. ALL of the trees were planted by developers to make the place look neat. 100 years later, not all of the trees look so neat anymore. Because they are dying. Overgrown, unmanaged and past their projected "safe" life span. Sure they can live longer in the forest, but we aren't in a forest. Our trees are decorative. Until they aren't. Then they become liabilities.
