discobob Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 We planted this when we moved into the house when it was a new build. it grows like anything and I have to hard cut it back to the trunk every year on all the growth for that year. I have found the roots are running just under the surface of the lawn and is shooting along the root. I have wanted to get rid for a couple of years but SWMBO is all “what about the birds” anyway, a neighbour has told us it is happening on their lawn so now it is going but I would like to know what it is to see if the roots will remain a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
