One to two feet (0.31 to 0.61 meters) is the depth of willow tree roots. The woody plant in question (Salix spp) tends to grow roots that are close to the surface to grab light, moisture and nutrients and that extend as much as 35 to 100 feet (10.67 to 30.48 meters) from the root system's center. Its root system will be as much as two times the tree's mature height of 35 to 70 feet (10.67 to 21.34 meters) and will respond aggressively and invasively to the presence of ground water and water bodies.
