    To the best of my knowledge, Caraganas do not have tree-like, far reaching roots. So you don’t have to worry about them running roots into syour foundation from 15 feet way. They only seem to grow roots aggressively up to their branch span… so I would recommend keeping them 3 to 4 feet away from your foundation
