Depends on the type of tree. From my experience before, parking under a tree doesn't always get bird droppings or sap anyway (i get more bird droppings from my awning at home where some birdies live). What i avoid are trees with small leaves and little fruits that fall all day; you can tell by the surroundings before you park anyway.
I'd prefer a tree shade over the sun.

I'd rather under the sun. Since I'm not one to have my vehicles washed on a regular basis (timing is the issue, not the want for the wash), I'm not comfortable having to deal with tree sap and bird droppings. And with my luck, I get the bird droppings with the tree.
With this would come additional protection for the paint and interiors though, in the form of more frequent waxing to somehow combat all the environmental exposure (or perhaps Diamond Gloss or Optigard) for the exterior, and some leather conditioner or something like Armor All without all the greasy look and feel for the interior. Having a fully tinted car helps as well for the interiors.
What I do not like about car covers - and this could just be me - are: 1) putting them on/taking them off large SUVs/vans, 2) possibly scratching due to dirt on the car/cover.

mas okay sakin under the sun, pag under the tree, di mo alam kung anong mahuhulog na galing sa puno, mamaya kung may bagyo, tangkay pa maputol at mahulog sa oto mo.

one time i was in iba, zambales nag-park ako under a mango tree, may mga hantik (fire ants) pala. e may isang dahon na naka-touch sa roof ng GS. ayun pag balik ko ang daming hantik, hindi ako makapasok kasi for sure pag binuksan ko yung door makakapasok sila sa loob. kaya pumunta pa ako sa palenke which was a 20 minute tricycle ride away para bumili ng water based raid insect killer. saka lang ako nakapasok sa car after spraying insecticide dun sa malapit sa driver's door. ang galing nung mga langam, tumatakbo ako ng 120kph pero ang tibay ng kapit sa windshield. pag dating ko ng QC diretso ako sa car wash. pero after 3 days meron pa din nagsusulputan na hantik, di malaman kung saan sila nagtatago.
car cover, ayaw ko na. ang dali makagasgas ng paint kahit anong ingat mo.

ang advantage naman ng under the tree eh, may shade kasi kaya hindi ganon ka init pag pasok mo sa sasakyan compared when parking directly under the sun.

Depende sa lugar. May lugar at puno na hindi ideal magpark sa ilalim nang puno (esp kung may bunga or namumulaklak like manga or caimito, niyog etc.).
Pero I prefer siyempre sa shade.

July 29th, 2013 12:55 PM #19in my experience, mahirap mag park under the tree.
kasi pag naiputan ng ibon, mahirap tangalin.
kapag nalalagas ang dahon, minsan sumusuot sa mga sulok-sulok. ang problema, pag nabasa like umulan, kinakalawang agad don sa parteng sinuksukan ng dahon.
bad experieince, naputol yung bakal sa loob ng wiper ko kasi kinalawang dahil sa mga dahon.
