The roots of a tree are an essential part of the tree’s structure and function. They serve several important purposes, including absorbing water and nutrients from the soil, anchoring the tree to the ground, and storing food reserves. The root system of a tree consists of two types of roots: large perennial roots and smaller, short-lived feeder roots. The larger roots and primary branches grow horizontally as they increase in size, while the feeder roots grow upward and outward from the larger roots and head towards the surface of the soil where they can easily find oxygen, water, and minerals. Healthy tree roots are absolutely essential for having a healthy tree. Without healthy roots, your tree might not be well anchored to the ground and will be much more likely to fall over.
