Southacre starts with ... Hi guys, I am planning to plant Barbados cherry around 2 metres from the pool. Do they have invasive roots that will attack the pool pipes/plumbing? I have googled this topic but it seems like no one has ever planted the Barbados cherry near a pool. I learned that they have shallow roots systems, but is that good or bad for planting near swimming pool. Thank you for your helps. I am planning to plant few of them as hedges near my pool and I promise I will update you guys with the photos. | About the Author Southacre CANNING VALE 6155 WA Australia 14th March 2022 1:08pm #UserID: 29489 Posts: 3 View All Southacre's Edible Fruit Trees |

Southacre says... Thank you Ironika for the feedback. The Barbados/Acerola cherry will be planted on a raised garden bed on a 1.5m retaining wall so it is sitting very high above the ground. I am not too worried about the stinging hairs. I want to make sure they do not have invasive roots system that will attack the pool plumbing. My other options are kumquat or feijoa. But from my research, feijoa can get over 8 meters high, I think sooner or later their roots system will get so massive that they will negatively affecting the pool. So far only kumquat seems to be the more safer options. | About the Author Southacre CANNING VALE,6155,WA 22nd March 2022 10:27am #UserID: 29489 Posts: 3 View All Southacre's Edible Fruit Trees |
