Yes, the maple tree roots are a problem, they break the surface of the greenhouse floor in several places.
But at this point removing it is not an option. To clarify, it is only one tree. It is 70 years old, and absolutely ginormous. It keeps the greenhouse cool in the summer and is home to several sets of squirrels and a pair of screech owls.
We had three trees cut down to make room for the greenhouse, but even if we cut down our maple tree, there are still the neighbors tree roots. We have a pretty small yard, and the greenhouse takes up half of it.
The property line is just past the maple tree, and six feet to the right of the greenhouse. The rhodies you can see on the left are right up against the house. So yeah, it is pretty tight back there!
I guess I will see what happens!

I don't think the maple is allelopathic.
My gh is pretty close to some big trees too. Maybe 20-25'.
Which I need to clear up lol.
If possible, I would try to make a dent in the maple roots on the floor of the gh so the rootmaker so it doesn't compact it.
