Last year I was behind two cars traveling southbound on Old 99 when suddenly a large limb of the tree fell from near the top of the tree. Fortunately there was just barely enough time for the first car to swerve out of the southbound lane without striking the limb. I saw that car swerve into the northbound lane but traffic was light on that Saturday late afternoon. Conditions could easily have been different resulting in a different and tragic outcome. This is a great tree but public safety has to be the highest priority. I think it should only be retained if a consensus of arborists hired by the city/state deem it to be safe to the public.
