Although there has been very little done in the study of the root systems of Maple trees there is a small amount of research performed on trees aging between 40 to 60 years that has shown the roots of a maple tree can spread up to 25 meters although this is dependent on the size, the location (proximity to other vegetation) and the age of the Maple tree.

Cherry Tree roots spread very far. It is best to plant 10 flowers of your choice around the tree; because this way the cherry tree can eat the flowers and be very healthy. That way your cherry tree will be strong and healthy and then you can talk to the tree and tell it how far to grow your roots.

Naturally it depends on the tree but in general many larger trees such as Oaks or Maples have a root spread in close proximity to the branch spread and NOT very deep.
