[QUOTE="Kneejerk Bombas, post: 460868, member: 3795"] The original ball should be easy to find, it's usually a different soil. The root flare is usually well below the soil level of the ball. Most trees need to be planted up 5"- 12" from the top of the ball. Your excavation is down to the lowest branch, the flare is still deeper. It looks like those roots you hit are adventitious roots growing out of trunk tissue. [IMG]http://www.dirtdoctor.com/pics/content_img.1835.img.jpg[/IMG] Heres an example. See the roots growing off the trunk? And still no flare. It's down in the soil. [/QUOTE]
