Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

If immediate planting isn't possible, place the tree in a shaded area and maintain moisture in the root ball. During warmer weather, you may need to water the root ball multiple times daily. For containerized plants, water until you observe drainage from the container's base.
