Root System Depth

[MrKevin]

How deep does the average wine grape root system go?

 

[grapeman]

It depends on the kind of grapevine, but in general they go relatively deep but have a fairly low density of roots. They do have quite a few shallow roots also.

I have read that in sandy soils they can go as deep as 20 feet? Hard to believe, but that's what I read somewhere.

Thanks Pat and Grapeman for the info. I couldn't find it on the web.
