I love this tree and remember it since youth. However the tree shows signs of having been invaded by beetles (there are small holes all over one side of it) also the root has pushed up the sidewalk about four inches over the rest of the sidewalk. So I am concerned about two things. First that someone my hurt themselves on the sidewalk and also that I might be exposed to legal action since it is in front of my house and second that the sick tree might infect other trees nearby if it is indeed sick. Does anyone know if the home owner is responsible for an accident that might result from that branch pushing up the sidewalk. Also if I tell the city about the problem will I have to pay to correct the sidewalk or chop down the tree. I would hate to kill the tree because of the root pushing up the sidewalk. If the city kills the tree will they at least replace it with a new one just as grand in the same location? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a tree along the sidewalk directly in front of my house.
