My tree roots are covered Oh MY God!!!!
I have 2 acres and a third is wooded, the problem is the third that is
wooded, well all the leaves have now fallen off the tree's The roots are covered by the leaves!!! I don't have the time to rake them.... oh wait I live in an area where almost everything is wooded, doesn't that mean all the wooded area's AKA the forest, aren't their roots covered too? I think I read in this group that is was bad to cover the roots of a tree (I think it kills them or something). What ever am I going to do? There must be an Expert in this group that can help. Thanks in advance!!! ;-) Not Clark... -- Don't you have Google in your part of the world? |

Maybe a certain arborist will chime in to tackle with something specific and some examples on either spectrum, not using weblinks. Doubt it though. -- Dave Profound is we're here due to a chance arrangement of chemicals in the ocean billions of years ago. More profound is we made it to the top of the food chain per our reasoning abilities. Most profound is the denial of why we may be on the way out. |

I'm off to the hardware store for some lamp oil and a lighter!! I have to save the tree's!!!

It wasn't eggs I was speaking of (symplast where are you?). One example, that strikes me is my great-grandfather had some majestic pecan trees. Surface roots were heavy duty, sometimes difficult to get pushmower over (engine off). Leaves in autumn were 1-2 foot deep before raking. Just wondered what would happen if these were never raked for example. There would be wind driven push on alot of it. Some making large piles near the trunks. Juniper-ashe (blue berry version) naturally drops its leaves (needles) in a major thickness. This is part of its strategy of recouping water in dry areas. And, due to the needles chemical release, nothing grows under such a tree. Live oak drops all its leaves in early spring. I have buttload of those trees all around my home and property naturally growing. I don't rake those leaves, too many and too deep. No apparent effect on their growth or foliage that grows within its vicinity. Cited 3 specific examples. Tap, tap, tap... mr. arborist... Or weblink quack... Dave |
