The area under the tree was cleared and the trunk inspected for borer damage. If I see borers I will treat for them back at the truck before taking home.
The tree wa clean and I started digging a trench around the tree. The trees in this area seem to be in much better shape, and are growing in a type of clay soil rather then rock like the last few I have dug. The tree started to show some signs of roots and I became very excited. I little more digging and I started to see the mother load of roots. This plant had a ring of roots at about 2 " under the soil line and it was about 6" thick. What a find!
