Trees act as a natural air purifier, removing dust and pollutants while producing oxygen.
Common grounds follow Florida policy on trimming tree limbs hanging over your house or lanai. If a tree is growing on your neighbor’s property or common grounds, and the limbs are hanging over your home or Lanai, you are responsible for trimming and paying for the trimming done on your property.
Those cute little Norfolk Pines you can buy at Christmastime at Lowe’s or any large box store are very dangerous. They look nice when 2 feet tall and have pretty ornaments hanging from their limbs. They can grow quickly reaching heights of 60 to 80 feet. They attract lightning due to their height and twist in high winds and fall. Many have been planted on common grounds. You paid $25 for the tree, and now they cost $2500-$3500, to have them removed.
No one has the right to be planting anything on common grounds. Please, let’s work together by being careful of what you plant and where you plant it.
