Empress Trees are known for its deep and advanced root system which can reach as far as 40 feet deep into the ground. The Empress Tree has been used as a wind block. The tree’s surrounding conditions will determine its effectiveness at blocking winds. Also, by quickly reaching its desired heights, Empress Trees make quick and effective sight barriers as well. We recommend planting them 9 feet apart to form a natural wall.
