There is NO limit on chopping down trees in Rollingwood. An empty lot can be clear cut and one extremist made it a point to cut down many beautiful large live oaks on an empty lot just to show that he could do it. There are only a restriction on the when you can trim oak trees. I believe a nominal, reasonable ordinance for removal of very large trees would be a good idea for Rollingwood. But even a modest and reasonable ordinance would never pass because people would threaten those who are for it. Wow. There is NO limit on chopping down trees in Rollingwood.
