Question
alankearn
These leyllandii (in the photo below) were planted 15 to 20 years before the patio wall was built and the trunks of the tree are 3 to 4 inches from back of the wall.
I am thinking of cutting these trees behind the wall down at ground level and leaving the remaider of the tree and roots in the ground.
I am wondering if in time when the stub and roots rot will the foundations and wall become unstable
