Hi
My house was built in the 1990s and there is a small cherry blossom tree in the front garden (actually three small trees "grouped" together as shown in the photo). It must be there for a long time (We moved in 14 years ago). It's 2.6 m from the house and about 3m tall. I have found its root is quite shallow (visible from the soil) and some can reach out 1.5m from the tree, which is quite close to the tarmac driveway. I just wonder whether the root will continue to grow and potentially damage the driveway?
any advice is much appreciated.
