Pot Bare-Root Trees with Proper Graft Union Placement

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates how to pot a bare-root cherry tree. He explains the importance of identifying the "graft union" (the swollen area where the scion is grafted onto the rootstock) and ensuring it remains above the soil line. If the graft is buried, the desired dwarf characteristics of the tree may be lost, or the tree might grow roots from the scion, affecting fruit production. He adds a small amount of potting mix to the bottom of the pot, carefully positions the tree, and then fills the pot with potting mix, gently patting it down to secure the tree. He mentions that he is using Miracle-Gro potting mix.

Goal: Successfully pot the bare-root trees while maintaining the graft union above soil.
