ficus and pools

15 years ago

Question about outdoor ficus. We live in a hot area and use ficus as a hedge. We just put in a swimming pool and now are worried about the root system cracking the pool. The trees are planted about a meter from the pool foundation. Do you have info about the root system? Thank you, Jayne
