I work at the Wilmngton Country Club, and along side of our reservior we have a large 300+yrs old White Oak tree. The superintendent of the course has recently began reserching plans into expanding it's current size. One plan of concern to the resident arborist and I is the area under survey. They would dig a channel between the oak and a barn about 250' away. Our question is: What is the minimum distance they could excavate without disrupting the root system of the oak? It's drip line is 42' and it's diameter is approximitly 60".
