Girdling (persimmon) sapling - is 2" too low too much?

If you plant a sapling (American persimmon, say of 2 to 3' tall; 1" caliper)
around 2 inches lower then it should be planted - so that the first 2 inches
of the trunk arising from the roots is therefore buried, will girdling occur
or will, in time, the tree convert the base of the trunk into the
root-system. If this is so, then it would be possible to get a persimmon
clone on it's own roots if steeped?
