Do all magnolias have a tap root ?
I dug up a Magnolia (wrong shrub - it was a star magnolia - in the wrong place) last summer and noticed a pretty long tap root. That made me wonder if this is a common trait to all species of Magnolia. An internet search seems to confirm this for M. grandiflora and M. macrophylla, would you extend that list to other species or all species ?
Thanks in advance for all information and experience,
Hi Olivier,
I've never dug a Magnolia with a tap root. They've all had roots mostly within the top 18" to 2'(46cm-61cm) of the soil. My Magnolia macrophylla is the most water sensitive North American native Magnolia I grow, so I'd find it difficult to believe it has much of a tap root either.
ditto what kman04 said, and....
Many magnolia species do have a someone deeper root system than many other types of trees, but this is not the same as a taproot. Also, as emerging seedlings, some magnolias grow a taproot first (as opposed to a more fibrous root network), but this initial taproot (not sure if there is a better word for it) does not develop into a pronounced taproot as the tree grows.
Many thanks for your answers.
What Brandon wrote ("[...] some magnolias grow a taproot first (as opposed to a more fibrous root network), but this initial taproot (not sure if there is a better word for it) does not develop into a pronounced taproot as the tree grows.") fits what this page says :
"Rooting Habit- Southern Magnolia is a deep-rooted species, except on sites with a high water table. Seedlings quickly develop one major taproot. As trees grow the root structure changes. Trees of sapling stage and beyond have a rather extensive heart root system (i.e. several to many sunken roots grow down from the root collar of the tree trunk). Older trees may develop a fluted base with the ridges corresponding to the attachment of major lateral roots."
Although I swear I saw a tap root on the one I dug up ! ;-) Well, it was a central, vertical and thick root, clearly distinctive from the rest of the (superficial and extensive) root system and going down to... I don't know because because I didn't entirely dig it up, but it was at least 40 or 50 cm (16 to 20 inches) deep. In heavy clay.
Not an oak tap root, alright :-)
Thanks again,
I have an old (50 yrs.) southern magnolia (magnolia grandiflora) about 25 ft. tall. It is evenly between my home and my neighbors and within 10 feet of each of our bathrooms. The neighbor says the tree is causing her plumbing problems, although we have no plumbing problems the same distance away. I thought the roots went pretty much straight down. I don't see any roots anywhere near the ground. Is it possible that the trees roots are spreading out and causing damage to her system?

Rock hard putty
nanatriciaSeptember 21, 2008
Let me try this again .
Thanks for this thread, NANA. I've been using the putty for years to patch holes in walls, and other stuff. Wish I'd thought of this when I was repairing the relief edging on a piece of art. I made a clay mold, then used clay to make the missing piece. Could have used the putty. I had no idea one could mosaic w/it, though. What a neat product - so many possibilities.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
01 Jan 2011 06:20 GMT | Europe, Australia, China, Greece, Japan
Fireworks have exploded over the London Eye in the British capital and Paris' Eiffel Tower has been covered in glittering lights as Europe became the latest continent to welcome in 2011
Around 50,000 revellers gathered in Madrid, the Spanish capital, after a break in the rain to take part in a ritual known as "The Grapes," during which people eat a grape for each of the 12 chimes of midnight.
As many people bid farewell to a tough year filled with continent-wide economic troubles, thousands of Greeks had earlier spent the day in lines to pay their road tax or sign up for a tax amnesty.
"We can see that the quality of life is being degraded every day," Giorgos Karantzos told the Associated Press news agency in Athens. "What can I say? I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel."
Earlier, the United Arab Emirates marked the new year with a fireworks extravaganza after a string of Asian countries had earler held their own celebrations.
Asian celebrations
Beijing, China's capital, Taipei, Taiwan's capital, Hong Kong, and Malaysia were among those that kicked off their parties with spectacular fireworks displays.
Thousands of people gathered in Hong Kong to watch one of the best shows, which lit up the skyline against Victoria Harbour. A numbered countdown on the city's tallest building signaled the start of the new year.
It was a similar story in Taipei, where crowds gathered at a concert for the celebrations.
The countdown was followed with a display of white coloured fireworks from different locations around the city with the centerpiece display coming from the Taipei 101 skyscraper, the world's second-tallest building.
In Beijing, residents gathered at the ancient Big Bell Temple to see in the new year with the traditional ringing of one of the biggest bells in China.
In Tokyo, Japan's capital, thousands of people gathered at the historic Bhuddist Zojoji temple to celebrate the start of 2011 by releasing silver balloons filled with notes describing their hopes for the year.
In Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, an estimated 55,000 people packed a square in front of the city's elegant French colonial-style opera house for their first new year's countdown blowout, complete with dizzying strobe lights and thumping techno music spun by international DJs.
South-Pacific countries, including Kiribati, New Zealand and Australia were the first to welcome in 2011.
When the clock struck midnight in Auckland, New Zealand's biggest city, fireworks were launched from atop the 328 metres high Sky Tower, the world's 15th tallest structure.
Tens of thousands gathered around Auckland Harbour to watch the spectacular display which could be seen from across the city.
In Sydney, Australia's capital, about 1.5 million people crammed around Sydney's Harbour to see a spectacular fireworks show.
The city touted its claim to be the New Year's Eve capital of the world, with a spectacular display over the iconic Harbour Bridge using 7 tonnes of fireworks, its largest since 2000.
Luxury yachts and smaller boats filled the harbour, while others filled pubs, clubs and balconies with a view of the show.

My Safe Place
is in the Lord. I can pray for the people in the middle. I need to realize that help for them and do it. I suppose that is why my step-father, everytime we pray asks for the Lord to divide what is ours and give it to the hungry. He saw children eating out of garbage dumps in Korea and it still affects him.
I have always thought in the past, well why don't we just give those people out of the bounty we have. I suppose there is not enough to go around to all, so it is something we ask the Lord to help with. I think I understand that better now too. Thank you Joe :)
