    Hi eugecall

    You have an oak tree (Quercus sp.) and a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris).
    [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Root size and spread is often defined by the ground conditions the tree is growing in. For instance; a tree growing in well drained, soft brown earth will have a well developed root system, whereas a tree growing on a hard, shale bank may have a stunted root system. [/FONT]

    [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]In most cases tree roots are comparatively shallow and spread far beyond the crown of the tree. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Often the majority of tree roots (80-90%) are often found within the top 60cm (2 feet) of the soil profile.[/FONT]
