In comparing an oak tree with a maple tree you can correctly say that oak is often used to make ships while maple is often used for furniture?
[Edit]

Hope this helps?

We have an older than 35 yr old Live Oak and we have removed some of the large roots (above grownd and below) BUT I'm not sure about a tree that is only 35 yrs old. When we did remove roots, we only remove a couple small ones or 1 large one during one season.
From the info our tree man has told me (pertaining to our live oak tree) Our whole neighborhood would have to be blown flat before we would see the tree down and removing roots (not alot at a time won't hurt).

We made a flower bed using 4" high brick like around our tree then adding no more than 2-3 inches of dirt each yr (more will hurt the tree) then we planted ferns in the bed around the tree. Now those ugly surface roots don't show and the tree seems to like it and it has been like that for 4 yrs now.

Additional Info

"Damage" is a complex subject when it comes to trees. The tree needs all the water and nutrients it can get to be healthy. When you cut any roots, you risk damaging the tree, either visibly or invisibly, either immediately or in the long term. Do not cover the visible roots with soil or planting as that will eventually suffocate the tree. Cover with pine straw or leave exposed. Never cover top roots of live oak.
