List of trees that can be planted near powerlines

There are legal restrictions on the types of plants that can be grown near powerlines. This applies if the tree or vegetation is planted within certain distances of the powerline.

Safe clearances are worked out using:

  • the powerline’s voltage
  • plant species
  • mature height of the tree.
