Expert advice
Kovrizhnykh explained: "The birch develops and grows very quickly. It often reaches 30 meters in height and two meters in width."
However, the most remarkable fact is that the root system of this tree is very powerful, capable of quickly destroying the foundation of a house.
The expert also added: "A tall birch tree can touch power lines with its branches. It is better to place it in a safe and spacious place."
