As the trees grow taller, there is more of a root system and shade. Both of these make it difficult for grass to stay healthy and grow. If you put more soil over the area under the tree, you are apt to kill the tree, since it depends on those surface roots.

That's not completely true. Oaks do not have surface roots like other trees, so it is possible to add a few inches of top soil without harming the tree. Using shade seed and lots of lime to counteract the natural acidity of the oak will improve your lawns success.

Would a seed grow well under a large tree?

It depends on the type of seed, but for most seeds, probably not. If it is a seed to start a tree, it would definitely not grow well under another tree. Some plants grow best in the shade and those would probably grow if planted beneath a large tree.

Do cantaloupes grow in trees?

I have cantaloupe plants that started on the ground and have then grown up a near by tree. On the cantaloupe "vine" that is growing up the tree I have actual fruiting cantaloupe. They did not grow from the tree they did however grow up the tree and then fruit. So in a sense yes cantaloupe will grown up a tree but no they do not fruit from the tree.


Why do mushrooms grow again in the same place?

Mushrooms grow on dead matter - so you could have anything under the ground from a rotting tree root to thick thatch in your lawn. There are no products to control mushrooms. If the mushrooms are growing in a straight line that leads to a tree...well that means the roots are rotting and your favorite tree isn't long for this world. If you see a large group of them usually in a circle, that simply means there WAS a tree in that area and there are still some roots underground. If you see tiny ones scattered all over the lawn, then you have very thick thatch.


Does liquid copper fungicide kill lawn mushrooms?

Nothing controls mushrooms! Until you get rid of the source, they will continue to come back. The source would be dead tree roots under the ground, very thick thatch in your lawn, or in some cases a dying tree.
