Airspading is one option. Uncovering the roots with compressed air and ‘sounding’ the roots to listen for wood density/function/decay. Can also use a spade ’carefully’. There are other detection techs available, but I have no experience of those.

 

Just a thought. Do the root radar devices differentiate between living/functional roots and those that are dead/decaying or dysfunctional?

Only down to abt 20mm diameter, which is why I ain't been too impressed by the Method.  Obvs fine roots go way further. K
