Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | A far shot of the wet, soggy earth and the buttress roots, which are spread quite a distance on every side. Buttress roots may inter-wind with buttress roots from other trees and create an intricate mesh, which may help support trees surrounding it. They can grow up to 30 feet tall and spread for 30 metres above the soil then for another 30 metres below. When the roots spread horizontally, they are able to cover a wider area for collecting nutrients. They stay near the upper soil layer because all the main nutrients are found there.
