I'm worried that the oak tree grown from an acorn planted by my son 30
years ago may be too close to my house. It's now as tall as the house and
it's 9.5 meters away. So I think I should take it down. My question is:
would the roots already have reached the house and might the removal of
the tree cause problems?

Option, Build a tree house in the Oak, move into it and knock down the
house................


If there is no tree preservation order on it already do not discuss it
with any neighbours. It will only need one person to contact the
council and a tree preservation order would probably be slapped on it
with immediate effect. then the tree is no longer yours, but all
responsibility is. :-(
