Tree World - View Single Post - How roots navigate around obstacles in the soil

You know I like reality shows.

It's debatable whether or not either structure was defective ... what is apparent is the lifting capacity of the roots. In both cases the roots have grown thicker in time and it must have been less resistance to lift the structure than depress into the ground.

So, what are the PSI capabilities of roots in such scenarios I wonder? How much weight can they lift?
