The depth to which tree roots grow varies widely and depends on the kind of tree and the soil in which it is rooted, among other things.
Shallow.
shallow roots extend away from a plant long; thinck roots that grow deep
Holly trees typically grow as high as 50 feet. Under ideal conditions their roots can grow up to 20 feet deep, but typically highly tree roots tend to grow wide. However, root structure is always affected by soil, water levels, and quality of oxygen.
It means that the tree is very big or heavy so the roots need to go far into the ground to keep it upright
after replanting a xmas tree , how big do the roots grow ?
For every meter above the ground , the roots go 3 meters deep . Ceder trees rearly grow higher than 25 meter tall . Thefore the maximum the roots can grow is 72 meters deep .
A structural adaptation of the desert oak tree is its roots. The roots have adapted to grow down deeper into the soil in search for water. If it was in a lush rainforest, the roots wouldn't need to grow so deep because all the water they need isn't far away.
Tree roots weather rocks because the roots go so deep under the ground that it can crack the rocks and then the rocks will eventually wear away when the water comes through from the ground.
Twenty five or thirty years is mostly quoted. But like anything else it can vary.
yes you can start a tree from a live branch or an apricot tree from a scion (which is really two ways to say the same thing). however fruit trees will usually require a rootstock and a graft
20 feet
