Katsura Tree Roots Are Causing Problems

Question From: L. Holyoak - WASHINGTON
Q: We have a mature Katsura tree in a small backyard & it was planted very close to an underground storm catch basin and we are concerned about where the roots might be and if they are compromising the drain. Also, our concrete slabs are lifting & on our neighbour's side of the fence.

A: Such a shame.I would get an onsite inspection from a certified arborist as to your options. To find one in your area go to www.tcia.org and enter your zipcode. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
