I have a willow in my front yard...I don't know what type. Long story short, a dog we kept dug a few of the roots and now I am worried that it will not survive. Can anyone help?
treeseer posted roots were not dug up so the tree should be fine...there were a couple of roots dug up. They were about 1" in diameter. Should I worry?
Spragg, the misconception about roots is that they feed the tree. They do but not that much. They're kind of a reservoir for the tree. They are more the stability of the tree. If you think the dog compromised the tree's ability to stand up then stake it. If not do as treeseer said and fill the holes in with dirt and try and stop the dog or anybody else from getting to the tree and you are good to go.
