Roots too deep in the root ball
(Click on photographs for more information)
Trees can perform poorly in the landscape if the point where the top-most root emerges
from the trunk is too deep in the root ball. Trees may grow fine in the nursery
because soil aeration is adequate but can struggle when planted in the landscape
because of poorer soil aeration. Click through the photographs below to gain
an understanding of appropriate root depth in the root ball.
