Why walnut trees are not planted near the house

The thing is, it's just not safe. The walnut is a fairly large tree with a developed root system.

The powerful roots of the walnut tree can easily destroy the foundation of a house.

In addition, the spreading crown of the tree will shade the roof of the house, which is fraught with the appearance of moss, and the leaves will clog the gutters.

The distance from the house to the walnut planting site should be at least 9-10 m.

If your garden plot is small, it is better to avoid planting this tree.
