A tree is a boundary-line tree when the boundary line passes through any portion of the trunk of a tree at the point where the trunk emerges from the ground. The responsibilities for a boundary-line tree are as follows:
(a) When a boundary-line tree is on the line between the right-of-way and private property, the City shall be responsible for maintaining the tree.
(b) When a boundary-line tree is on the line between private properties, the owners shall be equally responsible for maintaining the tree.
