i'm assuming if it attaches to the roots of persitant trees...then the colonies will also persist. would that be right?
Benefits seem to depend on the particular species of tree.
For example:

There is a lot of research on the WWW relative
to mycorrhizae in forests and orchards. (Information is probably
easier to find than for annual vegetables and perennials.)

For example:
http://www.anbg.gov.au/fungi/mycorrhiza.html

Try Googling 'mycorrhizae "fruit trees" "Western Australia"'.
You will be amazed at how much information there is on
this subject.





Friends of the Trees recommended granite dust for trees, too.
