I have a bunch of large maple trees where the roots have been exposed to standing water. Last year was very wet...and washed away and/or the ground settled away from around the base of many of these trees (arox 40 trees in question)....how much root exposure can they tolerate? Is it worth trying to cover those roots back up? I guess a follow up question is how much "wet" can hardwood maples stand?
Some have 8-10 inches exposed. Most of these trees are in the 12-18 inch diameter range.
I plan to build better drainage around their area and will have plenty of tractor time to invest in these trees.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
