Planting trees on your property can be an enjoyable family activity, but it’s crucial to prioritize safety, especially around electrical wires. Avoid planting trees directly under overhead electricity wires to prevent potential hazards. If your property is in proximity to cables or lines, opt for trees with a maximum height of 15 feet. For taller trees, ensure they are planted at least 50 yards away from utility poles in any direction to mitigate the risk of contact with power lines.
