You are allowed, actually required, to maintain the tree that grows over your property. If it falls and damages your house, it's your problem.

What was annoying was that not only did the tree shed branches and leaves like crazy but it rained acorns on our roof for many months during season. We also had NO TRESS in our backyard yet had bags upon bags of leaves before winter to rake as kids. Drove me crazy.
