[QUOTE="Jay Banks, post: 29137, member: 412"] After I get the tree in the planting hole, I remove all of the wire basket on smaller trees (under 6'), and the top half on larger trees. So on smaller trees I can take off most of the burlap and on larger trees I can take off the top half of the burlap. All so as mentioned take a good look at the root crown in relationship to the surrounding ground level. And if you feel comfortable clearing even more dirt you can check for girdling roots like JPS mentioned. [/QUOTE]
