- Abstract
The article discusses a study that examines root growth patterns of 30 willow oaks, Quercus phellos, near a variety of vertical root barriers after seven years. The treatments installed on the two sides of each tree include Biobarrier, DeepRoot Universal Barrier, DeepRoot Universal Barrier with Spin Out, Tex-R, Typar Geotextile 3801, or a no-barrier control. The study reveals that all five roots barriers significantly reduced the amount of root growth compared with the control trees.
