Very interesting hear you talk about your giant, David. Have you ever
discovered or noticed how deep its roots go?

Eddy.



Mine hasn't reached the giant stage yet, it's only a couple
of years old. I don't know how long they take to reach
mature size or how deep the roots of mature specimens go.

It is positioned at the bottom of our soakaway next to the
drainage ditch. It's roots can go as deep and wide as they
like there without interfering with anything.
