I will soon be planting a Japanese Maple but I have concerns about the root system. Are these types of maples as invasive to foundations and incoming water pipes as a sugar or silver Maple? Thanks for your assistance. |
All in all, I would not anticipate problems from a Japanese maple to the extent potentially possible from one of the larger maples but nonetheless it is always a good idea to avoid planting on top of (or under or right next to) utility lines and/or overly close to a building. |
