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.
6 meter
The tree with the deepest roots on record is called Boscia albitrunca or the Shepherd's Tree. It is native to Southern and Tropical Africa and a specimen was found in the central Kalahari in 1974 that had roots that went 68m deep.There is no record of any plant with roots 120m deep.
Q
shallow roots extend away from a plant long; thinck roots that grow deep
Tree root systems do not grow very deep. Tree's roots grow shallow and wide. Do not cut them! Tap root? Okay, many conifers have tap roots extending deep into the soil, however they still rely on surface roots for oxygen, moisture, and nutrients. In general, tree roots are close to the surface, extend laterally from the tree (like spokes on a bicycle wheel), and extend far beyond the canopy of the tree. Commonly, roots will extend well beyond 2 to 3 times outside of the drip-line. Roots have been found more than 10 times beyond the distance from the trunk to the canopy. Most people do not understand roots, or trees. This is what the last guy wrote: "Close to double its height and about as least twenty feet in each direction depending on how old the tree is. It depends on the type of tree and the conditions in which it is growing. Trees are like people they are basically lazy so they will only put roots out as far as they have to to supply nutrients and support." Remember, just because you see it on the internet, it is not always true. Tree roots grow where there is an abundance of oxygen, water, and nutreints. Which is where? Where the soil meets the air.
A holly is not a deep rooter. It depends on the type of soil and conditions of climate.
20 feet
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.

yes
Shallow.
Rubber trees are fibrous rooted so they do not go deep.
Q
In a deep burrow under tree roots in the forest floor.
