I grew up in south florida and have witnessed a bunch of root walls, but It really depends on the tree.
Palm trees for examples have deep root structures and small canopies which is how they survive the strong tropical winds.
- greyboy 14y agoCorrect, there are certain exceptions. I believe the point of this rabbit trail was to correct that notion that root formations are mirrors (or otherwise similar) of the tree trunks/canopies. At least, that's what I was hoping to show.
- wtvanhest 14y agoYeah, absolutely. Just providing some additional info.
- nosse 14y agoPines too often have a big and strong main root. It's for collecting water from deep layers. It can be all-most as thick as the tree itself.
