RE: Good Friday, The Good, The Bad & The Ficus!

You are fortunate you didn't have to learn through experience. Imagine noticing the cracks on the pavement/veranda, at or at the extreme on the walls!

These evergreens are a thing of beauty in the compound, but then, well. If only they didn't crawl beneath and risk the house.

I am not sure though, what might be the recommended distance from the house, just in case one really must plant them? Or must we really be separated from them by far?

    When I was reading about them it said no where residual. They find the water pipes and crack them. I will be doing research before re planting. Don't want to have to cut anything down again.

      True, most reads advice against planting in residential gardens. But apparently, if you must plant, you could try in pots, for containment purposes

      To quote from somewhere i read,

      Don't plant out standards (ficus tress) in your garden – if you want them in that position for design purposes, keep them in large pots, elevated on pot feet, and check regularly for escaping

      But yes, more research should help.
