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.

What Home Guy said. Also, it would help to know where you are located,

what state, northern or southern part of the state, etc. Those trees

don't look very big, medium is 1 foot diameter, big is 19 inch

diameter or bigger. If those wispy looking things get to 1 foot

diameter, it will be a miracle because they will have torn up the

walkway/driveway/whatever it is next to them.

thanks a lot for all your replies guys. I did not plan them myself. They were planted by previous owner 3-4 years go and when i came they were 3-5 feet tall, but now they are 10-15 feet tall. I live in Toronto, Ontario. Thanks once again
