Live oaks are probably my most favorite tree. However, they grow a minimum of 50" tall and 50' wide, and the postage-size lots in TV are not large enough to accommodate them.

I agree completely with you but your quote of 40 X 40 is off. They get 40 to 80ft high and 80 to 140 ft wide. They should have never been planted here. They are a tree to be planted a distance from the house. They will cause a problem as they mature.
