Dear Sir/Madame:
I am looking to plant a tree in my backyard by my pool.  The drawback is there is only 10 feet betweeen the pool and my retaining fence.  The goal is to give some privacy.  I like the Sissoo Tree (Dalbergia Sissoo - Indian Rosewood).  Would this be a good choice?  Is there any issues with disease or roots issues by the pool?  I know the tree spreads but I can use pruning to manage this.  My concern is if the root will grow and affect/damage my pool.  If I do plant this tree I am wondering the watering schedlue.  My back yard irrigation is only set up on one valve for all the plant and trees.  The tree will need more water than the establised plants so can I use more or more gallon per hour emitters than just he regular 1 gallon per hour that I currently have?  Please forward as much information as you have.  I would like to plnat these as soon as possible before it gets too cold in Phoenix.  Thank you for all your time.
Trent
