The tree is 12 feet from front wall of the house..1)..do you think the tree could pose a problem to house foundations? 2) Is it possible to take a cutting of the tree and keep it in a pot?.....I ask you this assuming that I will have to fell the tree.

I'm hoping to prune a privet hedge this weekend ,but up until 2 weeks ago ,a very active wasps' nest was in the ground nearby.Should I assume they are now dead or would activity near the nest disturb them again?
