Which tree should not be planted close to a house?
Maple trees have shallow roots that can intrude on your foundation if you’re not careful. Norway maples and silver maples are some of the worst offenders. You’ll want to plant these 25 feet from your home, if not farther. If positioned too closely to your home, a maturing tree can take root and slowly push your house out of the way. We recommend planting trees at least 15-20 feet away from your house to prevent problems with roots or overhanging branches.
What tree takes the shortest time to grow?
Osier willow is the fastest growing tree on our list and can reach its full height in just a few years. Overall, willow trees and poplar trees are among the fastest-growing trees for colder growing zones, while evergreen trees and conifers can be relied upon to grow quickly in many different climates.
