Phooey. Party Pooper.
Actually, where the tree would be would be near the distribution box,
which is a ways from the drain lines. AND, the tree would be dropped
over the bank a bit...hopefully where some of the drainage would go.
But, yes, I'll have to check just how far those roots wander. Doggone
it, too bad that that particular tree is darn near impossilbe to find
around here.
