I am putting together an article on plants that can cause severe damage to homes. Such as ones with deep roots that can damage foundations, climbers with spreading roots that can damage walls and masonry, and trees with extensive roots that can affect buildings and drains.
I am seeking experienced gardeners to reveal their picks for the worst plants that damage homes, and why. Plus any recommendations for alternatives that won’t cause so much damage.
