A spruce tree's root system typically extends about 2 to 3 times the tree's height, with roots spreading horizontally rather than deeply. The roots can reach depths of up to 3 to 6 feet, depending on soil conditions, moisture availability, and the specific species of spruce. This expansive root system helps anchor the tree and absorb water and nutrients from a wide area.
they are big, and found in many places
There really is no such thing as a "spruce-moose belt," however the biome where moose live and spruce trees, such as the big tall Black Spruce and White spruce prevail are in the Boreal forest biome.
Well the the root grow so big so they can collect the water and the top of the trees grow so big to make shade to the bottom of the tree so the water does not evaporate
as big as a house
as big as a house
They have evolved this way as mountain terrain does not allow them to grow big, the stony mountain ground does not allow for a strong root system therefore large or tall trees would fall over without an extensive and strong root system to support them.
spruce, pine & balsa are the big three.
In Prince Edward Island, the size of trees can vary depending on the species. Common native trees such as red oak, sugar maple, and white spruce can grow to significant heights of 15-25 meters. Due to the Island's maritime climate and fertile soil, some trees can reach impressive sizes over time.
They are Vascualar Plants because of there big root system
Hazelnut tree roots typically extend beyond the tree canopy, reaching a diameter of about 2-3 times the tree's height. The root system is wide-spreading but usually shallow, with most roots concentrated in the top 18-24 inches of soil.
Fiberous roots tend to spread out, which can be a big problem in container gardening.
