My city prohibits planting red maple and Formosa trees. Why? I'm in east TN.

Wouldn't it make more sense to ask at your towl hall? And I'm thinking you mean a mimosa tree.
I do not have that answer. If you tell men city I will contact them and respectfully ask them why.
Maybe people plant the red maples too deep and the woody roots come straight up and crack side walks as a result of planting too deep. . Just a wild guess.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology. Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us that we are not the boss.
