Non-invasive root, shade trees, hopefully fruit.

| I want to plant some shade trees as close to my fence as possible, only problem is that my neighbor has a very large slab of concrete on the other side of that same fence. I would love to plant fruit trees along there.... But I have read my first idea, cherry, is a bad idea. Any suggestions? |

| I don't think it's a good idea to plant any tree near a fence. The problem is that as it grows, it may end up actually hitting the fence, possibly causing damage to it. Also, you end up with part of the tree on the other side of the fence, so it's difficult to take care of it. And if you're planting fruit trees, your neighbor may not like the mess when it starts dropping fruit in the lawn (although the ability to pick fruit without needing to pay for the tree may mitigate that). |
