I saw a plants root crack an asphalt road. Plants roots are crazy strong. What is the craziest damage you ever saw plants cause? Pipes? Cables? ? ?

Interesting strategy... my city forbids planting trees below power lines. Don't think she'll get nailed for breaking some sort of rule like that?

    It's definitely illegal there, too. Intentionally damaging public infrastructure is illegal in literally every country that has public infrastructure.

    That said, I'm not sure how the laws would interact with the incredibly long timescale of the intentional damage in this case.
