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.

Tree Next to A/C Unit?

11 years ago

I just transplanted an espalier apple tree next to my air conditioner unit, and it now occurs to me that this could be a bad idea. The root is about 4 feet away, but a few branches would touch the air conditioner unit. Will the hot air blowing off the air conditioner kill my apple tree? If I block/screen the air conditioner, will that help? Thank you very much!
