Tree Roots

Minimum distance safe to dig from tree = 5 x Tree Diameter

Example: 5' diameter tree - minimum dig distance = 25'

According to Kris Reed:

You can generally encroach 50% of the drip line. So if the branches extend out 30’, you could dig 15’ away from the base of the tree.

Palm trees generally do not have roots that spread out as much as other trees. Try to stay at least 4’ away from the base of a palm tree. 3’ at minimum.

Diameter at breast height, or DBH, is a standard method of expressing the

diameter⁠

of the

trunk⁠

bole⁠

of a standing

tree⁠

. DBH is one of the most common

dendrometric⁠

measurements.

Electronic caliper can measure diameter at breast height (DBH) and send measured data online via Bluetooth to a

field computer⁠

Tree trunks are measured at the height of an adult's breast, which is defined differently in different countries and situations. In many countries, DBH is measured at approximately 1.3 m (4.3 ft) above ground.
