Tree roots
As I understand it, a tree's roots reflect its canopy. i.e. a large tree
with a large canopy/growth will produce a large root formation to feed its top. If however that large tree is severely coppiced/pollarded, does the root formation 'die back', for the want of a better way of putting it? Any advice welcomed Mike -- .................................... Today, is the tomorrow, you were worrying about, yesterday. .................................... |
