Hi all,

I purchased a bare rooted Fraxinus Excelsior 'Aurea' Golden Ash tree (from
Bunnings!) about a week ago and planted - you
can see the pics he

As this is the first tree I have ever planted I am a little worried whether
I did it right.

I dug a big hole and dropped the tree in so that the top of the root ball is
about 1 inch below the earth surface.

However when you look at the pics it seems weird that the trunk has that
branch growing off it so low down.

Should I have dropped the tree deeper in the ground so that the 'branch'
becomes the trunk????

Damn newbie questions......sorry./

I dont want to see this tree die or look spasticated !

Thanks.

PS Can't talk to Bunnings as they're not interested unless I want to cut it
or drill it :-))

PPS. I've had some advice that I should be pruning off the graft after maybe
a year?
