Do you cut your lawn.... then why would you liken to dicker with trees.
I ripped out a giant palm (hanging over the house) and said good bye to the nuisance oak Tree..... growing under my slab and lifting the entry walk..
The villages will not cover damages to my house, tree gone.

Different strokes for different folks.
As far as hibiscus, they are pretty, they are popular, they are marginally hardy. Past few years have been mild. Years ago this area was a major citrus producer. Several cold winters killed off the trees.
Global warming? Notice the new spin climate change. The climate is always changing and always has been. The old advice, the right plant in the right place.
Our oaks, the ones with the horizontal branches, I think they are called swamp oaks.
The wood has little value as the way the tree grows it builds up stress in the wood.
When you cut it, it grabs the cutting tool.
