I have some bombax trees. In the litrature I find out that they like deep 
irrigation. (large amounts of water at long intervals).
problem is that when you buy a tree you get it with it's root cut at 40-50 cm.
(bombax has carot like root). 
The Q is: are the secondary roots going as deap and does the tree still likes 
deep Irrigation .
I will appriciate posts to me directly and will post a summery.

thanks,
