About Planted
When a tree or shrub is planted too deep, the root flare becomes buried, leading to poor oxygen flow and increased risk of root rot and other diseases. This condition weakens the plant\
Planted (Planted too deep) is an abiotic disorder — a non-living, environmental cause of plant damage — commonly encountered in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Abiotic Disorders Library.
Unlike diseases caused by fungi or bacteria, abiotic disorders cannot be treated with pesticides. Correct diagnosis is essential — our UT Certified horticulturist can evaluate your lawn or landscape and recommend the right corrective action.
