QuestionWhat kind of roots does the Laurel Oak have? Do the roots go out or is it a ball? Does the tree blow over easily?
AnswerThey have lateral roots that will extend out about 1 1/2 times the width of the branches . They are in the first 2-3 feet of soil and yes the roots system will hold the tree from blowing over. It is a massive system and you should not worry about the tree falling.
