Over the past six years, the trees have caused damage to homes in the UK in the amount of €30 million, writes ee24.com citing independent.co.uk. This is not about the their fall, but only about crowns and roots - they spoil walls and undermine foundations.

Richard Tamayo, commercial director of the National House Building Council of the United Kingdom, said that greenery could create a more attractive garden as well as provide privacy and could help in reducing noise from a busy road. But roots and branches could also cause expensive damage to homes.
