The distribution of roots in soil is a dynamic process controlled by factors such as aeration, moisture content and availability of nutrients (Kramer, 1969). Apple trees, which are characterized by a large crown and are expected to support heavy crops, require an adequate, well-distributed root system, in order to supply water and nutrients for growth and yields (Gardner et al., 1952).
