I have decided to try and keep these large roots, and bury them with the hope of encouraging finer roots to grow.
After carefully looking i found several smaller roots at the rear of the tree, so its not just the three large ones, so i hopefully develop these, and place them where i want them to go.

There is another method i have seen of growing new roots, and that is by drilling small holes around the basal flare, and packing them with rooting powder, and plugging the holes with matchsticks.


Any thoughts on this method?.

Thanks to everyone for their advice.



Best regards BD Paul
