Many of you, answered, that "Chazal added

an issur even when the profit is greater than the

value of the tree because of Sakana."

This answer is totally incorrect.

There is no such Chazal. On the contrary, Chazal (Bava Kama 91-92)

said you may cut down a fruit tree if the profit is greater

than the tree. The Rosh adds even if it is not more profitable

but  the space is needed.

The Taz a few lines later writes that he himself was

Matir to cut down a fruit tree so they can build a house in its place.

It is true that Tzavo'as R. Yehuda Hachasid forbids cutting

down the tree even in such a case because of Sakanah but that is not

Chazal Assering.
