Default Re: Can Bananer Tree Roots Hurt Your House's Foundation??

Not like a pine tree that will destroy your sewer field lines and such. I've got sabas all over my sewer laterals going to my grinder pump, never had a problem. I know that bananas also love concrete pads, they hold the heat and keep the corm warm at night. I've seen some huge orinocos around old foundations in south Louisiana, they were big as Sabas. Only problem I see is having too big of plant next to house.
