In my yard, I have a 80 foot oak tree. I do have another tree about 20 feet from it, towards the front of the yard and another tree ahead of that (on the street) about 10 feet in distance.
On the property next there me, there was some sort of berry tree located roughly 15 feet from the oak tree. Under it on my side of the fence, I planted my azalea and rhododendron bushes. It was the perfect located for them since they were in shade. Earlier this year, my neighbors cut down the tree, leaving the bushes to be exposed to the sun for the majority of the day.
To help the bushes, I would like to plant a Subhirtella Weeping Cherry... but there is a fear that the roots will choke and kill the oak tree. I wouldn't think it would be a problem since there was already a living tree in the same area that didn't affect the growth of the oak... especially since the oak tree is so established.
I've been doing research with little help found on the internet... so I figured I would take my question to the experts.
The arrow shows where the tree used to stand. Where the potted cherry tree is located now is the general spot I would like to place it... maybe a little closer to the fence.
