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.
