Hi,

Does anyone know what type of *root structure a common holy tree has?
We've just moved and within 12 hours of moving in our neighbours had
sent round their friendly tree surgeon to enquire if they could pay for
our Holly to be removed. It is close to their property and apparently
within 3 m of a drain. I know they are a slow growing species and this
one is approx 25ft high. I obviously don't want their property to be
damaged but didn't know if root system is deep and invasive or *shallow
and far reaching.

Thanks for any comments

How
arrogant!! Do not take this tree down until you have lived with it
for a
while. We have lots of hollies and love them for their privacy. You
may
find the same thing. Obviously they thought you would not do this if
they waited. There may be a good reason the tree remained there.
