Dwarf Lemon Roots

Question

I have an in-ground pool and want to plant a dwarf lemon about 8 feet away. Can the roots of the dwarf lemon cause some damage/cracks in the concrete walls of the pool? How do the roots of the dwarf lemon spread? Same question about dwarf magnolia and angel trumpet.

Answer 1

With any tree, they will not cause damage to walls or other structures unless they lack for something - either room for roots or water. I think certainly a dwarf citrus or dwarf magnolia would be fine as they have very small root systems compared to other trees. A angel trumpet (assuming you mean brugmansia) may get a little large, but I am uncertain how much space you have so I cannot say for certain.
