Have I made a costly mistake?!

What kind of tree did you plant, Kate54?

We need to plant one in the midde of our front lawn but nothing too large. I was thinking of a June Berry, hoping the fruit is not poisonous to dogs.

The roots will sort themselves out And grow where they want to grow I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it at all

Excellent news, thanks! We put on the recommended root improver stuff so hoping all will be well.

I've watched Monty Don and Alan Titchmarsh plant all manner of shrubs and trees and neither make a habit of teasing out the roots - maybe they forgot, maybe they thought it unnecessary, who knows.

Agree with Oops. Keep your tree well watered and clear away any grass around the trunk. Some seaweed feed would be a good idea.

Probably not, but if you’re going to lay in bed worrying about it, I would get on and redo it,

But, it will be fine…..
