Parking under trees?

BlueLibby04 · 12-05-06, 05:23

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..

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

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?
