[quote=Anonymous]One thing that contributes to big trees falling completely - root ball pulled up - is that we plant trees singly as specimens. They aren’t supposed to grow that way. They are supposed to grow in groups, in forests, and their roots entangle and form a dense mat of roots that can’t be disentangled, and it locks the tree in. The crown can still be broken off, the tree will of course still die, limbs can come down, but the whole thing is less likely to come crashing down. You can recreate this and lessen the risk of trees falling by planting trees in trios 5-10 feet from each other - much closer than they’ll tell you at the plant center. They’ll grow together into a little grove. Don’t have to be the same species. They won’t be shaped like the perfect specimen tree we envision, but most trees in the forest don’t look like that, either.[/quote]
