    Hi all
    I would like to plant a Royal Poinciana as a center piece between the public road and my house. This whole distance is around 65 feet and the tree will be planted in the middle of it at 30-35 feet from the house.
    1.Is this distance enough not to damage the foundation of the house?
    2.Can I build a driveway safely around it?
    Please give me your knowledgeable opinion on this matter.
    Thanks

    Royals get VERY big. They can be as tall as 40-60 feet and get almost as big around. 40 feet from your house should be fine, though.
