SWMBO has learnt that any new house she considers for us has to have minimal trees. The three we checked out this morning were all eliminated in minutes. Why would we trade a place with only a couple of 20m trees for one with for or five 30m trees?
As for clearing a few trees, the local council might let you cut them up, but not until after they have fallen on the house. Even getting permission to remove a liquid ambar causing structural damage required us planting another tree to replace it. That seemed a bit excessive since we have 10 trees over 5m on our suburban block.
Here north, east and south are OK, above about 15 deg. To the west, where the big trees are, it's about 60 deg.
