Sapindus Trees

Question

Good evening

I am going to plant a Sapindus Indica Tree in my garden. I would like to know whether such the
roots of these trees can be harmful to foundations or to nearby wells.

Thank you for your attention

Answer 1

A Soapnut Tree is a large tree with most roots in the first 8 inches of soil; roots extend the entire canopy.

Large trees should be planted a minimum of 20 feet from your home or structures.
