Do some types of trees roots graft together? Some maples seem to end up with almost solid root pans at their bases. Are all the roots just squeezed together and still separate or do they graft onto each other? I looked at a horrendous girdled maple this evening for a neighbor where cutting the girdling roots seems unfeasible but wonder if the tree will be a goner or if the tissues will graft together.
