  • 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

  • @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.

  • @GNRrokon Cow manure?
