About Deep Planting or Covered Later
When planting trees or shrubs in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin or Brentwood, avoid deep planting or covering the root flare with soil or mulch. This practice can cause trunk rot and decline by trapping moisture against the bark and promoting fungal diseases. Always ensure the flare is visible to maintain healthy growth and prevent disease development.
