Yes, Slash Pine roots can continue to grow after the tree is cut down, as they may still receive nutrients and water from the soil. However, without the tree's above-ground structure, the roots may not thrive for long, as they rely on the tree for stability and energy production through photosynthesis. Over time, the roots may die off due to lack of support and resources.
Pine tree roots primarily grow outwards rather than downwards.
When you cut the tree down the roots will live on and continue to support your slope. Slowly another tree will start to grow. However, if you kill the roots they will eventually rot out and your slope will lose it's support.
Cutting a tree down does not necessarily kill its roots. The roots may still be alive and continue to grow even after the tree has been cut down.
probably not.
Cutting down a tree will not necessarily kill the roots completely. Some roots may still survive and continue to grow, depending on the tree species and the extent of the cutting.
Pine trees do well on dry sites because of their tap root (a root that goes straight down, most tree roots just spread laterally).
when people cut down trees it is called slash and when they burn the leftover it is called burn when you combine slash and burn it is slash and burn.
No, roots do not stop growing after a tree is cut down. The roots may continue to grow if there is available nutrients and water in the soil. However, without the tree to support, the root growth may slow down over time.
It all depends. Pine Trees, especially the Slash Pine in Florida are very sensitive to changes in the ground around them. You see many old pines left on land where new houses/ buildings are added. They seem fine for years, and then comes the decline. They are expensive and difficult to take down because they are so tall. I would not use heavy machinery within 25-30' of a pine. Once, probably wouldn't cause a problem...but nothing repeated... Hand trenching is different. You wouldn't disrupt the root structure as much that way. I would say 3-5' from the trunk would be safe.
To kill the roots of a large Scotch pine after it has been cut down, you can apply a systemic herbicide containing glyphosate directly to the freshly cut stump. Make sure to do this soon after cutting to maximize effectiveness. Alternatively, you can drill holes into the stump and fill them with concentrated herbicide. This method helps prevent resprouting and ensures the roots die off completely.
it means to slide. \ is to slide down and / is to slide up
