@KARStarla I know this comment is really old, but the reason you don't fertilize or otherwise amend the soil in the hole is that a tree will tend to keep its roots in the more fertile soil from the hole you made and won't spread out beyond that area like they should.

The important thing is to make sure the scion does not root. If it does, you will lose most of the size-controlling effect of a dwarfing rootstock. Otherwise, there are trade-offs with planting depth, and the concern you expressed is one of them. I still prefer to plant high than too low and risk scion rooting. JC
