I will however be here to help people that want help choosing a tree, as a free of charge/community kinda thing.

If you want to look up the codes that requires a tree or trees on new home lots prior to closing have at it.
Though if you'll notice... TV is putting a tree (or trees) at EVERY home, notice the terrible quality of most, and you can deduce they are NOT doing it, to help sales.

The requirement has been around a long time (decades) and was revised as to variety of trees allowed a few years back... no one was using very many actual native trees anyway... less important can of worms there, I'll leave it closed.
So, people have requested where to find these building codes. You continue to challenge the same people to look up the code if they like but DO NOT offer your source of information. If I had to guess, you own a landscaping company and are trying to drum up some tree planting business by way of spreading a fear of being out of compliance of what may or may not be an actual code.
