Parking under trees?

Is it ok to park under trees in the winter? Im fairly sure they do not put out sap when they are dormant.. Just wanted to make sure though..

Weve got a few Creek Maples at home that I will probably have to park under when I go home from school. I never park under them in the summer. But with the holidays and all, the driveway may be full.

Thanks..

Re: Parking under trees?

Where are you at? Any possibility of snow? You might have a tree branch sitting on your car.

Re: Parking under trees?

Yup, the only concern I can think of are tree parts committing suicide on your vehicle.

Otherwise, my concerns (which are irrelevant to you I guess heh) would be:
1) Bird crap
2) Acorns!
3) Sap

Yea. Acorns. They pelt parked cars all the time so I quit parking under trees because I don't want scratches and possibly small dents... or scratches on my glass roof! ugh. stupid acorns.

I just don't park under trees any more. Too much of a PITA.

Trees are evil, no matter what time of year.

ACORNS!! I know!! They are insane. I went to a cabin my family owns for a family reunion and my dad said be sure NOT to park under any oak trees. I or course didnt and was sitting on the front porch when I heard one hit another car! Those things were HUGE!! I had never seen acorn that big!!

I guess Ill just stay away from trees as much as possible then. Wonder if there are any trees that ARE safe to park under? Is there a tree out there that doesnt put off sap?
