Ficus Root Worries - November 30th, 2006 at 02:30 AM
About two years ago I planted about 15 ficus trees along the property line between my house and a neighbors. They were planted to provide privacy. Now, they are about 10 feet tall. However, being very new to gardening, I just learned about the problems with roots from ficus. I am concerned about them ruining our water lines, uprooting the driveway, etc. I have heard something about prunning the roots. Any suggestions? Do I need to get rid of them? HELP!
