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.
Eucalyptus tree roots can extend deep into the ground, reaching depths of up to 6-12 feet, depending on the species and soil conditions. They have a strong taproot system that helps them access water and nutrients from deep within the soil.
IROKO tree. These can be found in NIgeria .. and some west African rain forest zones.
The size of a conifer tree's roots can vary depending on the species and age of the tree. Generally, conifer tree roots can extend as far as the tree's canopy or beyond, forming a network that helps anchor the tree and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
The roots are shallow; however, the tree is VERY invasive and will dig in and add more roots when it is cut. The tree will move in and take over native stands of trees, it's sap, leaves and fruit are poisinous to many as it is in the sumac family; it can cause severe respiratory reactions, as well as severe skin irritation to allergic individuals. DO NOT BURN THE WOOD FROM THIS TREE, the smoke can cause severe health problems!!! DO NOT CULTIVATE THIS TREE; it is very invasive and can ruin the habitat of native species!
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.

It is the African Bosica Albitrunca. It is known as the oldest tree that ever grew.
A Wild Fig Tree!

The roots of a magnolia tree can extend up to 4 feet deep into the ground.
Tree roots can typically grow as deep as the tree is tall, but some species can have roots that extend even deeper. The depth of tree roots can impact the surrounding environment by stabilizing the soil, absorbing water and nutrients, and providing a habitat for other organisms. However, deep roots can also compete with other plants for resources and potentially cause damage to underground infrastructure like pipes and foundations.
Tree roots can vary in length and depth depending on the species of tree, soil conditions, and environment. In general, tree roots can extend as far as the tree's canopy or beyond, and they typically grow deep into the soil, reaching depths of 2 to 3 feet for smaller trees and up to 20 feet or more for larger trees.
Tree roots can extend as deep as 20 feet into the ground, depending on the tree species and soil conditions. Understanding the depth of tree roots is important for various reasons, such as preventing damage to infrastructure like sidewalks and buildings, ensuring proper tree health and stability, and managing water and nutrient uptake for the tree's growth.
Pine tree roots typically extend about 12-24 inches deep in the soil.
Eucalyptus tree roots can extend deep into the ground, reaching depths of up to 6-12 feet, depending on the species and soil conditions. They have a strong taproot system that helps them access water and nutrients from deep within the soil.
