Under Florida tree law, the health of the tree determines who is responsible when that tree causes damage to a neighboring property. Gallo, 512 So. 2d at 216. As long as the tree was healthy at the time, a landowner is not liable for damage caused if the tree falls down onto a neighboring property.Mar 17, 2021
