How far from house to plant trees?
Matt wrote in message m... We would like to add a couple of trees to our landscape. We wanted to plant a weeping higan cherry tree and a japanese maple in two different locations near our house. Is 3 feet from the house too close? What is minimum distance we should maintain from the house? Do these trees grow deep or shallow roots? How wide will the roots spread? thanks, Matt Yes three feet is too close. Both are shallow rooted and the roots will spread a long way. You ought to plan on having the tips of the limbs no closer than 20 to 30 feet from the house. As in plant the tree 30 feet away if the spread is 20 feet(20/2+10). |
