This is my "dig" of the root system from the 919. I carefully treated it as if I was digging up a dinosaur and trying to preserve the full roots. Interesting that each root reached up to 6 ft or more in length and went in every direction away from the stump. This is one lesson I learned that the roots definitely do not go straight down, but out in every direction about 6-8 inches under the surface. It has helped me understand that you do not have to hit the roots when watering but everywhere under the ground is a major root seeking water. Very impressive spectrum of roots I have to say. The 919 was a sterile plant as the males didnt have any piston or pollen in them and the females all aborted after a week or two.
