Crepe Myrtle roots - Page 2

 I agree with what Len says.  We have one down the back and just a pitchfork
is enough to get the suckers coming up.  Whipper snipper loves them.

| g'day ian,
|
| they send their roots far and wide looking for moisture but never
| heard them doing any structural damage, though in drought times you
| don't want any tree taking moisture from the soil around your
| foundations. that could cause problems.
|
| now as lovley as the crepes are never disturb their roots or you will
| be inundated with sucker growths forever. would suggest if you are
| going to remove one of them you would need to poison the tree and make
| sure it is totally dead before removal takes place.
