I had large Albizia trees on either side of my home. One side was owned by people in California who ignored multiple letters regarding their Albizia farm.
Finally I went over and donated some logging work and cut down about 30 trees of various sizes.
Years later when it was time for some more sawdust, I wrote them an offer letter to purchase their property and included my phone number. They called and we were working on a price when Kilauea ended the negotiations.
On the other side of my property, there was a homeowner with a gigantic Albizia (old growth?). I spoke with them about cutting their tree and they weren't interested.
During Iselle, that tree was toppled and landed on my roof, causing roughly $35K worth of damage. Luckily, the neighbors home insurance covered the damage.
TL;DR
Albizia Trees are hazardous and should be removed at all costs. Machete the little ones and chainsaw the big ones.
