I really like this palm tree which isn't in the approve nyc street trees list, but if i clandestinely plant it, would they come and cut the expensive palm tree down?

cause my tree in front of the house is dead. [/code]

I have no idea about what the city would do, but are you sure the tree you like will do well in this climate (planting zone)?

if you are talking about planting a tree in a sidewalk bed, you are technically required to obtain a permit from the parks department first. the permit is free, i think (http://www.nycgovparks.org/sub_your_park/trees_greenstreets/street_tree_plant.html). i don't know if the city will come and remove your tree if it's a non-approved species, but there are potential repercussions if they catch you planting a tree of any kind without their o.k.:

What happens if I don't get a permit?

Persons failing to first obtain the appropriate permits before beginning tree work are liable to arrest and prosecution under Section 18-129 of the New York City Administrative Code and Title 56 Section I -04(b)(1) of the New York City Rules. Most violations are misdemeanors punishable by a fine up to $1,000 and/or imprisonment up to 90 days. Removing a tree without a permit or damaging a tree are serious offenses punishable by a fine up to $15,000 and/or imprisonment up to one year.

How about a planter? Might prove effective if the tree is too delicate or the city officials too uncooperative. Just bring it indoors until the tree is sturdier - or there is a more "green" administration in power. How long might THAT be?
