I also have a 20 foot Juniper that actually touches the garage and another that touches the house. I don't know if that's good or bad. My yard guy has to trim the branches twice a year. The pecan trees are close enough that they used to drop pecans on the roof. Noel Don't know about lightning, but in any case, trees should not touch your house. https://lineagetreecare.com/tree-service/why-you-should-keep-trees-and-shrubs-away-from-the-house/ Charlie Aron AVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-Registrar Awaiting the new Microsoft Flight Sim and the purchase of a new system.

November 9, 20223 yr Maybe so Chalie, but they're too big now to move. They were too big when we bought the house. It's almost 90 years old. Maybe older. It first shows up on the city records in 1936. I figure it will last until I no longer need a house. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
November 9, 20223 yr Many years ago lightening struck the water meter in my front yard. Due to 80 lbs of pressure in the lines I had about a 20 ft. Gusher until they could get the line shut down. Fun times. Thank you. Rick $Silver Donor EAA 1317610 I7-7700K @ 4.5ghz, MSI Z270 Gaming MB, 32gb 3200, Geforce RTX2080 Super O/C, 28" Samsung 4k Monitor, Various SSD, HD, and peripherals
