Pee gee tree question

14 years ago

I bought a 5 ft Pee gee hydrangea tree at the end of the summer. A worker at the nursery (a very popular/prestigious nursery here in CT) told me to plant it with the knot/round circular part at the base of the tree right below the ground. I am not sure what that part is called so I hope I am describing this right. I planted it so that that part is just below the surface. In the nursery pot it wasn't buried so now I am wondering if that was bad advice. Did I plant this tree too deep? Will this kill my tree? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, Laura. Do you mean the crown? The crown of the hydrangea tree is usually planted at or below the level of the soil. But I am not sure that THAT is what you are seeing. Can you post a picture to double check?
