Reply to comment by Doktor_Earrape in Biotech chestnut tree poised to restore lost ecosystems and biodiversity — But it needs your help by Spiffydude98

Trees don't need to be dead to fall, and when they fall they can and do kill the occupants. After working in emergency storm damage I will never own a house with trees towering over it.

I bought a place with huge ash trees growing over it, and to pay a pretty penny to cut them down but they were already starting to lose limbs and it was only a matter of time.

Yup shits not cheap, but it gets real expensive when they add a new water feature into your kitchen and insurance denies the claim.
