I had to study that a while to make sure it was the same tree.

Re Stowe by Chartley, always makes you wonder in these situations how the tree is getting its water.I have seen many street trees where the highway and sewer construction around negates much root growth unless very deep which is often the case. It then begs the question that the roots must be in the subsoil and getting nutrients mostly from there, except for some that gets through the paving cracks.

I was at a seminar today, part of which was regarding roots.

 

The deepest live and functioning roots ever found are from a Ficus in a cave system in South Africa.

 

They are 150 meters directly below the trunk.

 

It would appear roots will grow where they need to.

Found an old photo showing huge oak I shot a couple of years ago. The first from 1895. Scene has barely changed but the new owner has recently fenced around the tree.
