    we have planted 5 of these trees along our border fence, now our neighbours are complaining that the roots will grow and in time will threaten their swimming pool. anyone know how far these roots spread?

    Birch roots have a good reputation for not causing damage to foundations. And swimming pool foundations are (or should be!) strong. They needn't worry.
