We have a spruce or fir tree which came up on its own, about 10 inches from
the foundation of our house. At first it seemed to be just a shrub, but it's
now grown into a tree about 30 feet high.

We like the tree, but we're concerned that the root system may endanger the
foundation, much the way that tree roots sometimes cause sidewalks to buckle
up.

Is this a danger?

I'd look up the type of tree that you have, say for instance: Blue
Spruce Root System
I read what they have there for that particular type of tree and it's
root system. You can ask them a question as well.

We have a huge tree-like holly that was once a wee holly bush (plant
that was under 6 inches) that I received for XMAS one year. Over the
years, it's now over 25ft. high. The reason why we haven't
transplanted it is due to it attracting honey bees every
spring.......

This holly bush has certainly ruined our driveway and surrounding
walk!!! When we decide to replace the whole driveway and the walk
area, we'll try and transplant the holly bush, now tree. We'd like
the honeybees to return......

Hope this will help you....

Take care and be well out there! Debra
