Abstract : Root distribution was similar in trees of cultivars Carrie, Irwin and Kent, with the highest density of feeder roots (roots 2mm in diameter) 90-175 cm from the trunk and at a soil depth of 0-20 cm. Trees of cv. Carrie (the most vigorous cv.) possessed more feeder roots than trees of cultivars Irwin or Kent.
