[QUOTE="Don't-B-Stumped, post: 2802137, member: 53066"] Can't tell you about the avacado but here in fla. I regularly prune roots of oak trees right up to the trunk and have never noticed any harm to the tree. You're not supposed to do that to the fla pines as it makes them a target for the pine bore. I did my own oaks over 4 years ago with no problems. Rather than cut the tree down I would chance it and cut the roots. They're still a lot of them down there so it'll probably make it. I also have done other species and have no complaints of dying trees. [/QUOTE]
