There is an overwhelming amount of information on this subject, so this page is built to guide you through learning the most important aspects.

Learning about proper tree root development is not just super interesting, but is also the best way you can protect yourself from purchasing poor quality trees with circling or girdling roots. To really understand a tree, you have to know how it’s roots grow below the soil which you normally don’t see. (this is where the “Naked” in The Oak Tree Farm name first came from).

The roots are usually shrouded in mystery below the soil, but hopefully this content will help you understand how roots work and how they should be managed.
