Avocado Growers

Roots

11 years ago

I am pretty sure these roots belong to my avocado tree. I have a feeling this isn't good. What say those who know?

Just bumping this. The photo is hard to understand. Did you pull those roots out of the ground? Are they growing out of the bottom of the pot? I've never seen the roots of my avocados other than the seedling when it was in water prior to putting in ground, and the potted one we transferred. The roots did not look like that. How does the main tree look?

Main tree looks good. A semi dwarf has.

Let's try it another way. tim45z10, HOW did you get the photo of the roots? Did you get them when transplanting? Why do you think they are strange?

I was digging a trench close to the tree when I found them.

The giant knots are what I am concerned about.
