Thanks for reviving the thread M!

Diaz's post was lost in the heap and I need to research some of those foreign species to judge the extent of "water play".

Nonetheless, discussions of deep taproots need to be accompanied by soil data. For instance, it's much easier for roots to plow through sand than clay. Every plant is suited for a particular environment. I look forward to researching the species offered by D and hopefully finding a correlation with soil type.

Dia? You still there?
