Some people believe redbud roots to be non-invasive, while others consider them to be potentially invasive. This is a paradox. Redbud roots, on the other hand, are regarded to be non-invasive because the tree generates a shallow root system. Redbud trees, on the other hand, have a taproot that extends the full width of their canopy. Because some redbud varieties have a wider spread, it is recommended that they be planted at a distance of at least 25 feet from the foundation of the residence. And although while the roots aren't as thick as those of other deciduous trees, they may still cause damage to the home's foundation if they were ever to fall on it.
