Palm Tree Root System
Unlike most trees, the palm tree root system is very narrow and is not as deep as the tree itself. Palm trees' roots grow horizontally and are very thin and fibrous. The roots grow up to two feet deep and penetrate the top 36 inches of soil around the tree's base. This means that a palm tree with a height of 16 feet will have a root system that is two feet wide. Palm trees are very easy to care for. They do not need pruning, but it is important to keep them healthy. They grow best in the sun. If the roots become outgrown, they can become stunted and need to be replanted. It is also important to check the roots when the tree is moving and remove any damaged roots. If the root system is causing problems, professional tree removal may be necessary. Palm trees are a great addition to any landscaping project. However, they can also cause problems if the roots are not properly maintained. Palm trees can fall over, which can cause damage to a house or other property. Palm trees al
