Why are the roots so shallow? Wouldn't the trees stop this from happening?

This is what I always wonder when they tell me a plant "tolerates clay soil". Like does it really? Or does it just avoid it by spreading out all its roots in the thin topsoil? This would seem to be the latter.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
