In our view, oak trees look lovely in a large space away from buildings. I too would think twice before buying a property that has one on it or even next door. Our neighbor has one, too close to a palm tree. They are competing with each other and there is only room for one of them. I keep hoping the palm will win, but it will not. That darn oak is growing at a good clip and the owner has been told it will make a mess with his irrigation system to take it out now. Checking with the master gardeners is a great idea.
