What are the root growth characteristics of jujube trees? Growers need to understand

The jujube tree has a well-developed root system, with horizontal extension greater than vertical growth. The roots can mostly be divided into skeletal roots, lateral roots and fibrous roots. Skeletal roots can be divided into horizontal roots and vertical roots. The horizontal roots are very well developed, with strong extending ability, and their distribution range can exceed 3 times the crown width. Their main function is to expand the root system and produce root-sucker seedlings. The vertical roots extend downward, and their growth vigor is weaker than that of the horizontal roots; their main role is to anchor the tree and absorb nutrients and water. (2) Lateral roots: lateral roots have weak extending ability, but strong branching ability. Their main function is to absorb nutrients and water, and they can produce root-sucker seedlings. (3) Fibrous roots: these are the absorbing roots.
