Right tree in the right place
Choosing the right tree to plant near power lines can help to reduce tree-related outages. In general, trees that will grow less than 25 feet tall are appropriate to plant in the vicinity of power lines.
However, owners of high-voltage transmission lines have concerns about trees in the vicinity of their lines. For more information about planting carefully near these high-voltage lines, take a look at this information from Pacific Power.
There's excellent information on the National Arbor Day Foundation website and on the International Society of Arboriculture website also.
