- Title
Six-Year Evaluation of Circular Root Barriers on Two Tree Species.
- Authors
Pittenger, Dennis; Hodel, Donald
- Abstract
The article discusses a study which evaluated the influence of four circular root barriers on surface root development and tree growth on Liquidambar styraciflua, American sweetgun, and Ficus microcarpa, Indian laurel fig, in southern California. It indicates that root barriers had reduced the total number of roots growing in the surface 15 centimeter of soil and nearly eliminated large surface tree roots within a 120 centimeter radius of the trunk.
