Hi
I have been preparing for a garden overhaul and cut through a largish tree root. I'm now getting water coming from the broken root. At first I thought it was from a drain but I've dug all around the root and underneath and around the soil is dry albeit clay. I can see the water coming from the root. Will this stop eventually it will I have to resort to trying something else. I've read that it should? In may the renovation starts and I don't want to lay concrete if the root is still shedding water. I hear that this time of the year in early spring they wake from dormancy and take on more water. We've have tons of rain recently. Any help would be appreciated.

Trees do gush water from the roots in spring, especially the maples. Just have to let it quieten down eventually.
