Most trees begin life with a taproot, [3] but after one to a few years the main root system changes to a wide-spreading fibrous root system with mainly horizontal-growing surface roots and only a few vertical, deep-anchoring roots. A typical mature tree 30–50 m tall has a root system that extends horizontally in all directions as far as the ...

Its natural range is primarily in the Midwestern and lower Great Plains regions of the United States, extending southeast into the geological Black ...
Rooting Habit, "Tap Root in proportion like a carrot". A seedling tree grows many times in root length to its growth upward in height. The Kentucky coffee tree is not commonly offered in the nursery trade because the taproot makes the tree somewhat difficult to transplant. Being in the Legume family the roots fix nitrogen in the soil. [13] [14]
Rooting habit: Shellbark hickory develops a large taproot that penetrates deeply into the soil. Lateral roots emerge at nearly right angles to the taproot, spreading horizontally through the soil. Major distinct lateral roots usually develop 12 inches or more below ground level and appear only after taproot is well formed.
Pentaglottis sempervirens is a perennial, that has a deep tap root. It grows up to approximately 60–90 cm (23.6–35.4 in) tall with a roughly hairy stem. It has broadly ovate, [4] or pointed oval leaves and the lower leaves have leaf stalks. It can retain its green leaves through the winter.
Plants have a tap-root and fibrous side-roots. Plants usually have several erect, usually unbranched stems which are grey in the lower parts with a covering of simple hairs, but green and glabrous (hairless) above. [4] The leaves occur in a basal rosette initially, and later grow alternately on the main stem and branches.

This tree is known to be messy and needs a large park or yard to thrive. [13] The tree can grow 60 feet high, but in the mountains it can reach heights of 90 feet tall and 40 feet wide or more, with an oval crown and a 3 foot diameter trunk. [14] When in lowlands this tree is more typically takes a small tree or shrub form. [15]
