The city of Edmonds, WA, is facing controversy over a regulation that prohibits landowners from removing trees on their own properties. The city's move is seen as unconstitutionally hijacking the building permit process and infringing on property rights. Meanwhile, several California cities, including Redlands and San Bernadino, are taking measures to strip fruit from trees in an effort to eradicate the invasive Oriental fruit fly, with state workers planning to visit 2,000 homes for this purpose.
