Some plants look great in your yard, but I can devastate to your home. From invasive vines to trees for deviation, wrong greenery can cause expensive damage. Learn about plants that damage your home and alternatives – from the garden of the expert.

Virginia Creeper

Virginia Creeper can be firmly fastened to the walls using strong adhesives.

“Although it can look attractive, this fast growing wine can cause significant damage to the exterior construction,” says Tim Spence, Arborist Halifax.

Virginia Creeper can draw in cracks in brick or mortar. It dies moisture against the walls while climbing, which can lead to molds or rot.

Once there is a gutter, it can block drainage, which led to the accumulation of water and more potential structural issues over time.

Keep it off the house. Instead, grow it on the garden of garbors, pergola or other detached structure.

Chinese Visteria

China Wisteria is a loved personal vine that blooms with fragrant blue or purple flowers. Growing big and fast, and easy to maintain.

What is not so loved is that it can come out of control. His fast roots move through any weak spot in the wall or home house. Once establishing, Wisteria can be difficult to remove.

Because Chinese Visteria is growing so massively, its weight can pave fences or rip off the blinds or drain.

The alternative is American Wisteria. It is a non-invasive homemade grape that grows on about half of the size of the Chinese Wisteria.

English Ivy

English Ivy looks great on the walls of home and garden walls, recognizes Rafi Friedman, the coastal luxury outdoors. You can recruit English Ivy if you have a problem with erosion because it is hard, fast expansion of the ground.

“Butvit is very invasive in the United States and will eat in most exteriors,” Friedman says.

Friedman notes that English Ivy will draw peace from brick if allowed to climb on brick.

If you enjoy climbing vines near your home, decide for easier variety controls such as bougainville or the butterfly vine.

Silver maple

Spence recommends planting any type of tree with a shallow root system near the house, as they are tending to extradite during the storm. One tree standing out is a silver maple.

“Silver maple is known for fast growth and broad shallow roots,” says Spence. “It does not only increase the risk of damage to the storm, but can crack sidewalks, approach and mix the foundations.”

Bamboo

Bamboo grows so fast, thick and high that it is popular for fast protection against privacy or cheap replacement for fences. But this magic comes with a price. Bamboo is also aggressive, invasive, harmful and difficult to resolve.

Rizomi, bamboo substrates or herbal stems, are a problem. These shallow stems allow for bamboo to move laterally quickly and establish new clusters. Each new bamboo cluster then will shoot in a cool (or stem) as much as 12 inches a day.

Bamboo culmes can break through the approaches, promenades, swimming pools and a house foundation, causing damage to thousands of dollars and requires great repairs.

Avoid planting bamboo near your house. Or choose a non-invasive type of bamboo, like a red bamboo or green bamboo panda.

Willow Tree

“The problem with the trees willow to love water, and they will do whatever they have to get to that,” Friedman says.

One ready source of water for willows, says Friedman, is the water supply and sewer lines. So Willows will grow roots – sometimes extending your whole yard – to reach that water.

If you have a great property with an unused water source, such as swamp, swamp or pond, you can place your willow. Otherwise, leave it from your property.

Eucalyptus tree

Eucalyptus is a high growing tree origin in Australia, which is grown in many parts of the United States, it is a popular tire, very stubborn, and it adds lush, exotic views of courtyards.

Eucalyptus can damage your home from each direction: underground, side and above.

Its roots can be expanded up to 100 feet, grinning with sewer lines, water plumbers and foundations of houses.

Large pieces of bark are regularly removed from their sides, litter of the yard. Since eucalyptus grows over 50 feet tall, it rains toxic leaves and branches.

Plant eucalyptus of at least 10 to 12 feet from home. Or choose less problematic types of tires, such as red rubber or dwarf apple.
