Chris Wiedamann from the Kentucky Division of Forestry joins us to explain how tree roots really grow and where most of a tree's root system actually is. If you've ever pictured roots as a mirror image of the branches above, you'll want to tune in—Chris clears up some of the biggest misconceptions about what's going on underground.
