Default How near a drainage pipe can you plant a fruit tree? XP

Depends on the state of the pipe. If you suspect its old and might have

on the other hand and potentially water, if still the old metal pipes
can lead to embarrassing issues, like a rose tree fracturing a gas pip
with its roots, since the pipe was more rust than metal at that point!
Took 20 years though. grin.

Soil pipe, water pipe and electricity cable all relatively recent.
Installed 2012 IIRC.
