It is these plants that have long spindly taproots. The taproots in the pipe cylinders extend the length of the pipe. The root diameter doesn’t appear to be even 1/8 inch. Laterals are two or more inches apart with no extensive development. All root material appears leggy, absent of the secondary root formation that was easily present in the sand bed root systems."

His point was look at how this tree is surviving in less than ideal conditions. (I tend to think that one factor that assists pawpaws in this habitat is that railroad right-of-ways cut into hillsides, exposing layers of strata. The ground water in this region travels along these natural strata in the shale. So the cutaway aids in keeping the plants watered.)"
