Should I stop spraying them with Brush-B-Gone too??
I'm not much of a tree lover anyway, but I do like our liriodendron
tulipifera (tulip tree) I understand they are pretty rare in my area (I
don't know).
Nevermind I've decided I do like trees, as they burn nice in my fireplace.

Hey, most trees I've planted in my yard have become firewood sometime
in it's life. If they develop undesireable traits, they're gone &
replaced. Most recent was a 40yo silver maple that wouldn't keep it's
roots under the soil. :)
Anyone know if sawtooth oaks have any bad habits before I let it get
big?

Why don't you guys just plant a groundcover under the trees? No more
mowing and no more problem with the above ground roots. You're happy.
The tree is happy.
