It may. If the tree fell and hit a house or other structure, there would probably be coverage for repair and for debris removal.

However, if the tree fell or a large limb came off in a storm without hitting a structure, the debris removal coverage would not be triggered. Likewise, the damage to the tree itself is not generally covered.

In all events, and payment to which the insured may be entitled would be subject to the policy deductible.

Will homeowners insurance cover damage to car from a fallen tree?

It depends on whether or not the car carried comprehensive insurance. If it did the auto owner's insurance would cover the tree damage, regardless of the cause. If the car did not have comp. coverage, then the car owner may be able to make a liability claim against the tree owner's homeowners insurance coverage. If the homeowner's insurance denies the claim, the car owner can still seek a civil award against the homeowner's personal assets.

Does homeowner insurance cover roof damage from tree removal?

Why was the tree being removed from the property? Is this something your insurance company wanted done? Did you remove it yourself, or did you have a contractor do it? Answers to those questions could help clarify my answer to you. For now, the only situation I can think of where this would be covered is under the "Falling Objects" peril. If the tree fell into the roof and caused the damage, then that would be covered.
