| Does anyone have a tree in mind that can be used in the middle area surrounded by a stone retaining wall? I was looking for something with roots that grow veritcal that can be planted 15' from a house. Heard an Upright English Oak might work but am having trouble finding one. Thx. |

My only thought is don't get maple. Their roots are terrible.

| I suggest posting this on the tree forum, they will be more knowledgeable about the behavior of tree roots. |

| i recently built a dry stack circular stone wall around a large pin oak in my yard the wall is 32 inches at its highest point. I am worried about the roots of the oak pushing upward on the wall and destroying it, although i did do some intense labor around the areas where the roots were the most visible. I purposely postioned the rocks in these areas in such positions that there is room for the roots to grow before touching the stones........... time will tell. |
