Live oaks are lovely to look at, on your property or in a park.

We have two homes here in TV. One has St Augustine grass. The annual cleanup of live oak leaves and acorns now fills 8 of those huge leaf bags. Eight! Yes, the huge paper bags.

And my neighbor's tree has huge limbs that go over my home. Yes, need to deal with that now.

And my rain gutters need cleaning out twice a year. Guess I need to invest in those screen things.

I love trees. I just don't want live oaks on my property or near by.

My neighbor, across the street no less, has a huge one and leaves will flood my garage if I leave the doors open. Yes, I have garage screens there too.

Look it's not like you have to defend trees with me. It's a huge mess for me rather than a cozy afternoon of raking.

No thanks.
