Hi,
I was looking at putting a bald cyprus in my front yard. It would get full sunlight. However I was concerned about a few things. First off, how are the root systems? Are they confined or are they invasive spreaders? I have a sprinkler system to be concerned about. Also, how close can I plant this to my house? I was hoping to put it about 10 feet from the house. Knowing it can get up to 70' tall, would I be nuts to do this?
Next tree- My alternative to the bald cyprus is an ornamental leyland cyprus. I know these trees are like night and day when it comes to size etc. That doesn't matter to me. What does is that I don't know very much technical stuff about these except I like that they can be sheared and kept very nice. Please tell me about these trees. How much sun do they need, what are their root systems like? How tall can they get. Any good or bad info. would be appreciated.
Thanks
