My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I'm interested in planting Musa Sikkimensis along a border next to my home. I don't want it to grow too huge, just eight to twelve feet perhaps.
My question is, they say trees have to be planted at least eight to 16 feet away from the home/building. Does this rule also apply to the Musa Sikkimensis?
I doubt it. Bananas are not trees (they are plants) and their root systems, though potentially extensive, do not seem destructive. I have seen numerous houses in California with Bananas growing right next to the walls.
Banana roots are not strong enough to cause damage to foundation. They are more fleshy and soft than woody. I have bananas planted all along the West side of my house, right up against the foundation to improve their winter hardiness.
