Here's a photo of the sapling:
I pulled this little sapling out to re-plant it further from the powerline. When I pulled it out, it's roots ended inside a carrot. I've been digging a lot in this area and there's nothing but unexplained carrots growing. Some pretty giant with very deep stalk in which I haven't finished digging up.
So, my question is, do (or can) a Maple grow from a carrot? It's end roots were inside one, so I left it on there. The dirt where it's at, is very moist and nasty looking. There were 3 huge rooted (I guess "mother" carrots). 1 left. However, when I went to replant the sapling. I dug a hole for it, far away from this spot. I dug, and there's some more carrots! (I thought, I guess this little tree will be at home, with more carrots). So, where these other carrots are is very near the gopher homes. So, can they contribute to carrot growing? Or did the Maple tree grow them?
Sorry, if this sounds dumb, I'm just really curious as to what's going on. I don't know much about gardening.
Thank you.
