We've had rain and storms, and still have snow.<br /><br />Do you have so many surface roots because you live on a mountain and have a rocky subsurface? I wondered why you had so many trees topple over. .that may be the reason. We live on an ancient dune, with very porous soil, so we don't have that problem.<br /><br />I hope that you are able to solve it, without having to lose more trees. They are a precious commodity.Suziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04050428036946794512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-75408684445649896212011-03-03T21:24:45.845-08:002011-03-03T21:24:45.845-08:00I hate to see trees go, but those roots are just s...I hate to see trees go, but those roots are just something else!

Apples and pears can be pruned real hard when it comes to roots. In fact that can give the trees a "second" youth so they give more fruit.<br />In that case one prunes the tree real hard one year and the roots the second. I think that might work for most trees in the Rosaceae family (rose family)<br /><br />But most trees can manage to loose two or three roots if they are cut some distance from the tree itself. Do You know what tree these roots comes from? If I were You I would try to remove some at least, otherwise You´ll have to cut down the tree anyway before they do too much damage I´m afraid.<br /><br />Have a great day now!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Crane Lakehttp://thecottagebythecranelakeolof1.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-40618559323925102462011-03-03T06:48:48.607-08:002011-03-03T06:48:48.607-08:00those wandering roots are certainly impressive! ho...those wandering roots are certainly impressive! hoping it's only the pavers which have been tunneled. much luck with all of the gardening work.petoskystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633621111274495078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-15652713104334813292011-03-03T05:27:55.029-08:002011-03-03T05:27:55.029-08:00I want a full tour.
