Japanese Weeping Cherry
I planted a Japanese Weeping Cherry a few weeks ago and was recently told that it may be too close to my septic system and my house..How far away from the septic tank and house should I plant the tree?

Re: Japanese Weeping Cherry
Hi Chris,
Since the mature canopy of these trees could grow to 25', I would suggest you place it 15' or more from your septic system.
