Can anyone tell me the spread of cherrytree roots,fruiting or flowering. My daughter is moving and has dug up and potted a 3yr.old fruiting cherry,trained as a standard, we have no idea of the rootstock, with the idea of planting it in her new 10ft.square front garden. I'm sure I've read somewhere that Cherry roots are invasive,so I'm a bit concerned. Any advice welcome .Thanks.

The roots of a tree are generally as long as the branches.

As a general rule the size of the tree above the ground is the size of the root system below the ground, unless you've pruned the top growth.

Personally, I wouldn't plant a tree within 10ft of my house.

I wouldn't plant a tree closer than about 3.5 meters from my property.
