Dear Nina,

In my opinion, I would classify this type of question into two categories:-

1. Potential Sha Qi or poison arrow and/or

2. Commonsense approach.

Under Para 1, above, a tree may become a poison arrow if it ends up with a thin tall tree trunk.

And if one stands at the window (even) of a low rise house; should this thin trunk (or pole like) object slice thru the window, it then becomes a potential Sha Qi or poison arrows.

Under Para 2, it shares a common situation e.g. like a bedroom above a kitchen. Where in some situations, fire is more likely to break out in a kitchen. Therefore, a common sense approach.

Or it is not good to have a toilet or sewerage pipes above the main door. What happens if there is a leak. And persons going thru the main door, is showered with the leak.

Under Para 2, "Commonsense approach"; there are instances where, trees if they are not trimmed properly can provide:

2.1 In some instances: Honet bees, makes nest on these trees or

2.2 Ants, use the tree or branches to move between the house and the ground. Ants may have nests also on the branches of the trees.
(Not considering termites etc)...

2.3 Animals such as stray cats and even rats have been known to climb the trees and the untrimmed branches is like a gateway for easy movement.

2.4 In my country, the crow population can be considered as `out-of control' in some locations and they do use the trees as perches etc.. And there is known evidence of e.g. flu virus passing between birds to humans etc...

I am not trying to exagerate but some of the above may happen in some cases. While, I must admit, if the trees are properly trimmed, they should not pose any problems.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
