We live in South West France. normally we get temperatures of up to 34
degrees C in summer, and short periods of minus 9 to 12 degrees C in
winter.
We have had a patio consturcted and have left a one metre diameter hole
for a tree to be planted to give some shade. The patio is laid on one
foot of reinforced concrete, and underneath that there is solid clay,
which in the hole makes water very slow draining. We have been advised
that the tree roots may rise and distort the patio in time. Is this
likely to happen? If so, what type of shrub or small tree would thrive
in these conditions without endangering the patio?
We would be most grateful for any suggestions.
