Hey guys,
Long time no see!
I had a generic root question...I know root tissue isn't compatible with trunk tissue and you can get girdling.
What I am wondering is...will crossing roots merge? Or do they girdle each other as well?
I have a newly planted red oak (planted at flare) and it has a few roots that circle near the base. This would be at or below the flare. So I am wondering if I should leave them or cut off now?
The tree is from a nursery, I wasn't able to source a wild one this time.
TIA!
