The neighbor told Daily News that after the incident more than 60% of the leaves of the tree which was 60 years old have wilted. The neighbor whose name has not been disclosed but who is said to be a retired city teacher told Daily News:

“Why would you have solar panels and try to take down a tree? That, to me, is the linchpin of everything. It says a lot.”

The teacher had purchased the house in 1992 and was sure that the tree was alive when Adam Harvey had told her that it was dead and should be cut.
