Unearthing the Facts How Deep Do Tree Roots Really Go

Join us on a fascinating journey below ground in this educational video as ISA Certified Arborists Wes and Corey explore the root systems of trees, particularly in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Contrary to common belief, tree roots don't grow deep into the ground but instead spread out close to the surface.
Discover why 80-90% of a tree's root system exists within the top 18 to 24 inches of the soil. We delve into how the need for air and water, combined with the area's clay soil characteristics, influences the growth and development of tree roots.
They also discuss the role of 'sinker roots,' those deeper roots that serve primarily as tree anchors rather than nutrient absorbers. Through this insightful discussion, we unravel the mystery of why tree roots extend further horizontally than they do downwards.

What's the deepest that the roots at the center of a 50-year-old Douglas fir tree (21" in diameter) would go? I have one right on top of an underground residential power line and I'm kind of worried. And would a Spruce tree have about the same depth as a Douglas fir?
