How far away can you build from a lime tree?

The recommended distance for building near a lime tree varies depending on the tree's size and species, but a general guideline is to maintain at least a 10 to 15-foot setback. This distance helps avoid damage to the tree's roots and allows for healthy growth. Additionally, it minimizes potential issues with falling branches and provides adequate space for light and air circulation. Always consult local regulations and an arborist for specific advice.
