Can I plant a peach tree just above a 2" white pvc pipe in my yard?

Question

I already did it and now I am rethinking..

Answer 1

need to move it, if the pipe ever needs repair, the roots may be in the way and would possibly harm the tree to damage the roots...

Answer 2

almost honestly, we had %pipes in our backyard for the washer and then they began leaking after many years. My husband dug up contained in the realm of the leak and we found a wide hollow the position a tree root went by. What a large number. the more serious tree anybody can improve is a weeping willow. they must be planted far remote from any the position there are pipes. they have been shown to be the most unfavorable because their roots shuttle to this point. It replaced right into a willow tree that damaged our pipes and the tree replaced into in a associates backyard, 3 residences away. truth.

Answer 3

If the PVC pipe is for septic and has holes in it...the tree will overgrow into it...move immediately. Even as a solid pipe, it could stress the pipe and break it eventually as the tree grows and the wind blows and leverages the root base in the dirt..., but it should not grow roots into the PVC in that case

Answer 4

The good news is that there is not much chance the roots will enter the pipe joints seeking moisture.

The bad news is that if something goes wrong they will have to dig up the tree to reach the pipe.

Answer 5

I'd rethink about planting that peach tree 10' or so away from the
pipe. Just to be safe. If you just planted it, it should easily be
transplanted.

Answer 6

How deep is the pipe. If it is entirely below the root mass, you should be fine. Prunus are not invasive rooters.

Answer 7

I wouldn't the roots will eventually damage it, if it's a water supply line that's the only white I know of.
