Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Dear All,

My neighbor is complaining about the roots of the tree in my yard is damaging his newly constructed concrete yard by lifting it. (Single house family) I searched a little bit about who's owning the tree, and found out I am the owner of the tree since the whole trunk is in my yard yet very close to the fence, of which we are sharing. So i'm seeking legal advise on further process, and who's responsible for the removal of the tree or other actions, and will the removal covered by my house insurance? Should i report it to the city government?

Best regards,

You are responsible for your own tree roots. I do not understand why you would report your neighbor to the city for your own tree roots.
