: "My tree's roots are exposed: what should I do?"
Exposed roots can happen from erosion, foot traffic, or just a naturally shallow root system. While some exposure is totally normal, significant exposure can stress your tree and make it more vulnerable to disease and instability. The fix isn't to bury them; a light layer of mulch might do the trick.
