    As long as the tree gets enough water and has enough room, it should not be a danger to the foundation.

    As for planting it, you can either try to dig up the roots and then break the pot off the rootball (which will be best for the plant but may be difficult to do) or you can cut the roots that are in the ground and then simply replant the tree (this will increase the chances of transplant shock).

    There are a few diseases that can cause this. This article has more information on them, so that you can see if your tree has some other symptoms and match them up:

    This can be caused by many, many things. Most of which would need an onsite examination of the tree to determine for sure. At a most basic level, I would recommend treating the tree with both a fungicide and a pesticide. This would treat a large portion of the things that may be wrong with the tree.

    If you need a more specific diagnosis, then you should either contact your local extension service or a local arborist or tree expert to have them examine the tree. With a visual examination, they should be able to give you better advice as to how to treat the specific problem.

    It is likely a pollination issue, especially if it's been unseasonably hot in your area as this makes it more difficlt for pollinating insects. You may need to hand pollinate.

    I have same question regarding pineapple guava not thriving. Mine are in full sun, and have been planted a year now--all are on drip system. Only a few have lightly flowered and none have borne fruit. Also, the color of leaves are ugly light gray-green with yellowing on some leaves.

    The tree may regrow the branches from below where it was cut, and is very likely still alive, though it is hard to tell if it will regrow branches. But you cannot reattach limbs that have been removed. You may want to start over with a new tree as it will take some time for the tree to recover, if at all. I am sorry.
