i have never seen tap roots this long. it lost its pods and most of its leaves from the frost. here is a pic. i was wrong, the 2 tap roots are 48-50 inches from the top of the soil. i hate to cut those long roots but where would i get a 6 foot tall pot?
Snow i have cut tons of fat lateral roots, i guess if these won't bend i can cut them....
