How far in each direction do tree roots grow?

Tree roots typically grow very wide and shallow. How wide do tree roots grow? Most people say tree roots grow to the dripline. In fact, tree roots grow much farther than the dripline, typically 2 to 3 times the distance, sometimes further. All of the roots are important to the tree. Do not cut the roots. If in doubt, hire a Certified Arborist to consult on your project BEFORE getting started. Trees do not heal; they can only compartmentalize decay. So, do not expect to have someone wave a magic wand and sprinkle some chemicals to fix your problem or "save" your tree. Learn more at http:/www.treedeath.com
