Tree roots are more than meets the eye. You see, the root system of a tree expands broadly within the ground space below its mound. This is referred to as a trees \u201ccritical root zone<\/a>\u201d, and can span as wide as 10 feet or more around the circumference of the tree. However, regardless of how extensive they spread out, tree roots do not grow very deep into the ground, which means that trees are susceptible to being easily uprooted by severe storms and heavy winds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a tree is displaced from the ground, several, if not\nall roots, are broken in half, rendering them tremendously weak and damaged.\nNot only does this circumstance put the roots under serious stress, the crown\nand trunk are also affected. Furthermore, when exposed outside of the soil,\nthey are all prone to serious damages that can ultimately kill the tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what does this mean for you? Well, if you have a tree\nthat has been uprooted from the ground, continue reading to learn if it can be\nsaved or not, and if so, where to begin.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Facts About Uprooted Trees<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In many cases, an uprooted tree does not survive. This is\nbecause the root system is too damaged to fully recover. This is especially\ntrue for large or mature trees. But sometimes, a tree can be saved by\nreplanting it, but only under certain circumstances. And even if the tree can\nbe revived by putting it back into the ground, it could experience problems\nsuch as transplant shock. This is why post-replanting care is so vital for the\nsurvival of a tree that has been uprooted by inclement weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large Tree Uprooting<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Large trees are not common survivors of uprooting. Their\nroot systems are extensive and mature, which provides the tree with water and\nnutrients. When massive severing occurs, they are not strong enough to supply\nthe tree with adequate amounts of food and water, causing the tree to die. But\nalso, replanting a large tree is not easy to do since their extensive root\nsystems also anchor the tree down, providing stability. Once the roots are\nsevered, this stability is difficult to recreate. It is also challenging to get\na large tree to stand straight to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Tree Uprooting<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Smaller trees have a higher chance at survival because their\nroots systems are not as extensive. A large portion of their root system stays\nintact after being uprooted, and the smaller size reduces the amount of\nexterior damage to the trunk and branches caused by the actual fall. When\nuprooted, they suffer the same amount of stress as large trees, but can then be\nreplanted in most cases. It requires professional tree service to replant\nuprooted trees properly. This is because they have the tools, training, and\nknowledge to complete the job safely and in a convenient time frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Care for an Uprooted Tree<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Once a tree has been replanted, the after-care portion is\ncritical to its survival. This includes regular tree pruning, sufficient\nwatering, and adding fertilizer after one year of new-growth. Trust your local\ntree care technician for professional tree service so that your replanted trees\ndo not suffer from transplant shock or any other issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
