Hello, I recently got a large willow oak transplanted into my front yard by a professional nursery, this tree was not ball and burlap it was growing in the ground, dug up transported and replanted. I'm kind of worried about root development, and possible girdleing root.

Please see the pictures and any advice is appreciated, thank you.

Specifically the root crossing the main trunk flare, its still loose enough to wiggle by hand and im debating if i should try to prune it out or not.
