Messy Oaks
Does anyone have experience dealing with this tree? I have heard that they are fairly shallow rooted and may kill surrounding grass or get under the house foundations. My wife is also not much of a fan of the moss that hangs from mature Live Oaks.
Hi,
We winter in Bradenton, Fl. Our park has protected massive oak trees that crumple the driveways and drop leaves the entire winter. Our street has a mass clean-up at least 3-4 times a week just to keep them under control. The park sends out their crew constantly blowing the leaves and making a mess of our windows and screens. I must say our street looks lovely and shady, just plan to be cleaning up, the palm trees don't seem to make nearly a much a mess.
