All limbs of trees or portions of limbs which overhang public streets, sidewalks or paths and are less than ten feet above the surface of any public sidewalk or path or are less than 13 feet above the surface of any public street constitute a nuisance and are prohibited. When limbs of a tree overhang both a public sidewalk and a public street, they shall be trimmed to a height of 13 feet above the surface of the street. This section shall not apply to any tree to which pruning or trimming would endanger the tree’s health as determined by the city, unless a public nuisance exists.
