Generally, a township is not liable for trees planted on private property, as property owners are responsible for the maintenance of their trees. However, if the township had previously acknowledged a hazardous condition or had a role in the tree's planting, liability could be argued. In most cases, if a tree falls and causes damage, the property owner would be responsible for any repairs unless negligence can be proven. Always consult local laws and a legal expert for specific situations.
