I know this isn't really gardening but I figured smart plant people would be the first to ask..:)

The tree is about 4 1/2 stories high

I want to check here to see if anyone knows a general rule before I spend an hour or more googleing..

1. key word: 'Dripline'
where the rain drips down on the edges of the crown is where you find the small, fibrous, harlike roots that collect water
