I have also planted a beech tree some 6 years ago (fagus sylvatica) about 30 metres away from the house and would like to know: 1. any problems with the roots in the future to foundation or pathway around house?2. I noticed, that the tree has 3 leaders (one would be better?) and should I cut out the other leaders ? Also would like to prune lower, bigger branch. when should that be done (early spring or late fall)?
I planted a prunus cerasifera nigra about 4 to 5 metres away from the pathway of our house, so ca. 5 to 6 metres from the house itself. my question would be: does prunus cerasifera 'nigra' have aggressive roots (which I have read a lot of cherry trees do) or is this tree safe to have in this proximity of the house?
