Here are my feelings on live oak trees. They are beautiful. They are majestic. They are protected to some degree by laws. They are also dirty to have in your yard and dangerous growing close to your home after they reach a certain size.

During last years Hurricane Irma, a huge Live Oak Tree fell that was growing right next to Laurel Manor Rec Center. It fortunately fell at night and toward the parking lot, minimizing damage that could have been terrible if it had happened when people were there.

No doubt trees are beautiful, but Americans have been clearing them to build structures for centuries.

I believe that there should laws against having live oaks within 100 yards of any home. As you say, they are dirty and not only make a mess on the property on which they are situated by they also are a nuisance to the surrounding homes. They are beautiful trees and belong in parks, not homesites.
