The majority of eucalyptus trees' roots - up to 90% - extend horizontally in the top 30cm of ground. However, eucalyptus trees also have an incredible taproot which, in the right soil conditions, can extend vertically downwards about 20 metres, or 60 feet. This taproot will anchor the tallest tree securely, but not all soil conditions are conducive to growing such a taproot. Clay, for example, will prevent the taproot growing to the minimum 2 metres it requires to anchor properly.
