I inspected 2 trees (Maple and Pear). Both trees were planted 3 years ago. Both were planted about 4" above the root/trunk junction.
One is throwing up sprouts from its roots.
Why is it growing sprouts. More importantly, what is the remedy - if any - for a tree planted too deep?
Obvious answer seems to be to lower the grade around the entire tree. But how far around the tree? At this point, will I do more harm than good? Some authorities suggest I will do more harm than good b/c the lowered grade will collect water leading to a number of other problems. To complicate matter, the trees are both planted in the lowest area of the yard.
What to do?
