Pine Trees Safety
-
The Garden Frog with C Renee on Mar 03, 2014You need to find out what kind of pine trees to determine any safety issues and what the city would let you do. Pine trees are a fast growing tree that can actually grow about 40' in 20 years. They are a soft wood tree and can easily break in a storm and they can grow up to 100' tall. There are many varieties of pine trees and you should know what kind you are dealing with to determine what is best for your property. Good luck.Helpful Reply

Redeemwood on Mar 04, 2014Wow, most Colorado pine trees are slow growing and little or no danger of falling. I do think you need to find out what type and maybe even post pictures! There are over 50 species.Helpful Reply

CynK on Mar 04, 2014Pines all have shallow roots and if close together it could cause all three to fall at once. However it will take one strong wing to have that happen. I'm in Dawsonville GA and we have some high winds with storms and my who back acreage is pines and only one has toppled in 10 years. It also was leaning before the storm. Have them evaluated by Acorn Tree Care to determine if there is a problem. They are excellent arborist!Helpful Reply

Anna on Mar 04, 2014The most important thing I can tell you is that you are going to have a septic system put in make sure that present or future roots won't damage it.Helpful Reply
