Tree root question
How far from cement driveway / sidewalks should you plant trees to avoid
problems with roots damaging the concrete? How far from a septic tank and line should you plant trees to avoid problems with roots damage? The specific trees I'm concerned with are Rocky Mt Juniper and Colorado Blue Spruce. Thanks, Bill |

Thanks, Bill I would use the adult height of the tree as a minimum. I don't like to take chances with septic fields. Berkshire Bill |
