| Hello, everyone,
I purchased the Mimosa Tree before I read that this kind of trees have invasive roots that could ruin the water pipes under ground. What kind of tree do you recommend me to plant near or around the sprinkler system? Any help would be greatly appreciate it!!! |

| Remember that roots of any plant will go toward the source of greatest water supply. If your sprinkler system has even the smallest leak then the roots will grow towards it. Selecting a tree with a tap root will help mitigate the problem but the tree will also have shallow fibrous roots which may become a problem. As you can see the answer to your question is not a simple one. Contacting your state cooperative extension service would be a great place to start for unbiased info. |
