Live oak, laurel oak, palm tree, etc., Ten feet is too close to the house for my liking. Did the developer put it there?
I think a mature live oak is as gorgeous as it is majestic but a little messy with fallen leaves, fallen moss and twigs. It will plug up downspouts in no time. I am speaking from experience. My oaks are far from mature and are thirty feet from the house. I wouldn't trade one of them for a dozen palms.
