The soonest the Cupressus Lambertiana macrocarpa is chopped down the better. A tree like that may reach up to 25-30 metres high and no less than the same figure in diametre in some 30-35 years. Strong local winds might have prevented it to reach that height, but its roots might have grown much more aggresive instead. Watch the floor tiles. Cheers.
