hi
first sorry if this topic is not related to this group but I am hoping I will get the answer here because many people here are very knowledgeable.

I have these trees which are 3-4 meters away from my house foundation. They were small 2-3 years ago. Now they are getting really big. It scares me that these tree will get even bigger and bigger and eventually the roots will hit the foundation and cause a lot of problems since the house is 80 years old.

Do you have any idea what is the name of these trees and how big it can go? and how far the root can go. Right now they are just 3-4 meters away. The following links show the trees. Thanks a lot.

Hmm,
I am just shaking my head. Whoever planted the tree(s) did not know
anything about selecting trees or shrubs.

the roots are typically twice the size of the drip edge....

I LOVE trees But anyone planting them close to their home needs to
consider what can happen in a storm, the tree could fall on the home
