I like our neighbors and don't want to become a pain in toosh. We live in a "regular" neighborhood and not a villa one. Just looking for thoughts and if anyone has encountered this.
I would check with ARC before doing anything. I vaguely remember something about Live Oaks having some special status. Not sure if it's a Villages thing or State. Keep in mind the appearance of the tree after significant trimming may be much worse than leaving it. Personally, I wouldn't touch it unless it was a danger or problem.
