I planted a Japanese Weeping Cherry a few weeks ago and was recently told that it may be too close to my septic system and my house..How far away from the septic tank and house should I plant the tree?
Hi Chris, Since the mature canopy of these trees could grow to 25', I would suggest you place it 15' or more from your septic system. http://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/trees/PRUSUBB.pdf Newt
You are so very welcome. Just in case you would like a review, I'm here's some sites on planting, mulching and watering that might be helpful. http://www.freeplants.com/how_to_ball_and_burlap_dig_plant.htm http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/plantsci/trees/f1147w.htm http://www.treesaregood.com/treecare/mulching.aspx http://www.mdvaden.com/advice-landscape.shtml#wateringsuggestions Newt
