Rishi, you have hit the nail on the head. Especially in a suburb like ours which is nestled in the native trees, we should be aggressively getting rid of non-native plants, especially eucalyptus trees. They are a fire hazard and prone to falling over, often with tragic results.
Hi Rishi, I support this ordinance. I suggest we broaden beyond Eucalyptus tree. Saratoga’s arborists should routinely inspect trees that pose a threat/danger to owners and/or neighbors and send specific actions to be taken by the owner. Non compliance could be held against owner in court of law.

Hi Rishi,
Agree Eucalyptus trees present a fire (torch) and fall hazard.
