A neighbor has a beautiful Bradford Pear but the roots are coming up to surface. She called a "tree guy" who said it was healthy but with those roots coming up like that...the best thing is to cut it down so the roots don't go into your neighbor's yard or damage your sprinkler system. He also told her that it probably wasn't planted deep enough. The tree does look healthy. All that I read about this tree is that it is used along streets because roots are not invasive. I don't want her to lose it and she definitely doesn't want to lose it. Any thoughts on this?
