The first problems are those which are affecting the health of the tree itself. There are a number ’ of fungus diseases which attack the roots of the trees. The root rot common to the Lawson Cypress is one example. Usually when trees get root fungus problems, they start to show signs of distress and often go into rapid decline. Unfortunately, in many cases, they deteriorate so rapidly that they cannot be saved. Action is still required however, as the fungus may pass from one tree to another. It is important to get the af- fected tree out before the disease progresses. A second tree root problem which occurs on occasion is girdl- ing root. This is a situation where a root is growing around the base of a tree or around another main root and is literally choking the Tree Talk By Brian Fisher tree. In many cases, these girdling roots are near the surface and can be diagnosed and corrected. Girdl- ing root is often caused by trees planted in planting holes that are too tight or which have hard sur- faces making it difficult for roots to penetrate. Probably the most common problem brought to us is unwanted roots or sucker shoots from sur- face roots. People are distressed by large roots growing up through their lawns, patios or driveways and want to know what can be done. In many cases these roots can be removed without causing damage to the tree. Where there are many surface roots from one tree, I recommend that these surface roots be remov- ed over a three year period remov- ing '4 of these roots each year.
