What is the root flare of a tree?

Accepted Answer

The root flare, also known as the root collar, is the area where the tree's trunk transitions from trunk and bark tissues to root system tissues. It's located at the base of the tree.

Question 4

How should I store my tree if I cannot plant it right away?
