If a tree or other plant isn’t rooted, it’s roots continually moving and reaching DOWNWARD to connect deeply and completely into the soil (and sometimes deeper than soil, into rocky substratum, too), that tree or plant will not stand long. It’s won’t be able to access moisture or nutrients either. In fact, it’s entire circulatory system shuts down, it dries out – and dies– quickly once it’s uprooted. The healthier the root system – the more “grounded” – the more overall strength, wellness and growth there will be.
