Kentucky Color: Uprooted trees

By Billy Joe Fudge

Those hurricane force winds last summer did more than damage the roofs on our homes and businesses. I'm finding many trees uprooted in our forests. If you have several blown over, you might be able to salvage many of them if you don't wait too long, since they still have a few roots intact which will keep them alive for a period of time.

On another note, contrary to popular belief, most mature trees do not have tap roots. Most of a tree's roots are in the top 18 to 24 inches of the soil.
