    I have recently purchased a house with a Monkey Puzzle Tree in the garden, apox 20ft from the house, will the roots ever be a problem, it is currently 40ft tall?


    Many Thanks,


    Adam

    It is doubtful that the roots will pose much of a problem. The roots of monkey puzzles do not seek moisture in the same way that water-hungry deciduous trees, such as willow or poplar do.
