metasequoia glyptostroboides in garden
kaethe replied to kaethe's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I don't have the dimensions with me at the moment, but about 20m. They are on the plot itself and we have been told that they cannot be removed because they are protected by council policy (as said, this is not in the UK so checking separately). Not sure if this is because the vendor is looking to earn from the trimming or if they really cannot be removed -
I am looking at buying a building plot and have just been informed that there are 2 dawn redwoods at the end of the garden about 10metres in height. The vendor of the land is a garden centre, they have pruned the trees every couple of years. In all the research I have conducted, there are differing opinions on the roots (deep root, flat root) but all seem to say this tree is unsuitable for a garden. There is a house behind the plot and one either side. The house we would build will have a cellar. the plot is in Germany not the UK. Can anyone give me an idea if the risk of purchasing this plot is worth it and what damage the roots can do to the garden and house?
