Lee,

Im sorry I didnt clarify. By surface roots I was speaking of the roots that attach to the trunk at the "top" of the soil line. They are the roots that many times will stick out of the soil and give the impression that the tree is gripping the ground. This link isnt a juniper, but just to give you an idea of what the heck im talking about.
