It is also called the root flair. The # one cause of
residential tree failure is planting to deep. Another thing to look
for is the highest major root is 1-2 inches below grade.

Ginda is smart enough to know a graft when she sees one. If she didn't
see the graft, and knows she planted the tree with the graft above the soil
line. and knows she didn't mulch over the graft, then the arborist just
exposed the tree's roots. If she deliberately planted the tree deep,
then she wanted the scion to root, and exposing roots is no good. /smaller>/fontfamily> The graft is a couple if
inches above the mulch line. What he meant when he referred to "shoulders" is
the protruding tops of roots that ordinarily develop at the base of a mature
tree. He pointed to this feature in a nearby oak as he spoke. Maybe the usual
word is "knees"? At any rate, he wasn't commenting on the graft one way or
another.
Thanks, Ginda Fisher eastern Mass, zone 6 where
"winter moths" are becoming a problem. But right now everything is growing and
blooming and holding immature fruit, and the garden inspires hope.
