The concern is that ten years after you have planted a tree the wrong way, a strong wind will knock it over and smuck your car. In a windstorm, this compressed point is quite literally the "weakest link in the chain," and is the point where the tree will break off under the loading pressure of the wind. Later studies demonstrated that the deeper the tree stems were in the soil or mulch, the more likely they were to have multiple layers of the killing roots. Actually, urban landscape trees,...

Digging into that root-infested area is not only backbreaking work, it can weaken and may even kill the tree. Barger also warns, when working close to a...
