[QUOTE="AGoodSteward, post: 5967898, member: 145414"] Ttee roots do the raising damage close to the trunk. When you get a meter or more away from the base they get finer, they grow around obstacles. If you shear the feeder roots off a whole side or even 25% of a tree it gets serious. Even a little chopping can open it up for infection. Think of it like surgery, keep the cuts neat and clean. Don't chop, slice, with a sharp implement. How deep were you going to bury your plastic anchors. Can you lay them on top without disturbing the roots? [/QUOTE]
