We had ours taken out shortly after we moved into our new house. Our friends have one that is 12 years in their yard. High maintenance and "messy" is an understatement. He trimmed and shaped his tree until it got too big.
I believe you can't remove them after they get so large. Anyone know about taking a live oak down in The Villages? OP, that might be the best option---if it can be done. Of course, to each his own.
