White Oak
5 year old buck +
I apologize if this has been asked before. I planted 5 bare root trees from NWC last year , and they all seem to be doing great. I did some research before planting last year on youtube , since I'm new to bare root trees . The info I found said not to plant too deep , and to keep the highest root just below the surface of the ground. While checking out NWC's new website today I noticed in the "planting tips" it says "Slowly backfill in layers until the rootstock’s bud union is only an inch or so above the ground.". If that's the case , it appears this tree of mine should of been planted at least another 2 inches deeper, maybe more . Do you guys agree that the tree needs to be planted deeper , or the way I did it was fine. Thanks for any advice, I have some more bare roots coming soon and want to plant them correctly . Sorry the pictures are not the best .
