When planting new plants, bushes, and the like how long would you expect it
to take for the roots to establish themselves?

When I purchased my Thyme it was recommended that I keep the soil moist
until the roots had a chance to establish themselves, afterwhich they should
be reasonably drought tolerant. So I'm wondering generally speaking how
long is that anyway?

Proper root pruning would help the tree roots respond properly.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.

Stoopid, clooless ****.

Where the hell did you see a question about tree roots in the OP? Thyme is
(please take note, for once in your feeble, unimportant, little life, of
this) *NOT A ****ING TREE*. Not every plant is a tree, dumbass. Not every
plant behaves/grows/has the same needs as a tree.

What about that do you fail to comprehend?
