Description
The tree is too big for the location it occupies. The tree is too close to my 1840's historic home. The tree is just over 40 years old. The roots have penetrated my basement walls. During this last week of rain, I experienced leaking walls. So I scraped the paint and discovered tree roots in the bricks.
