Here's the three trees, a close up of the union, and the height to which I was planning to raise the soil. I intend to remove the tape from the trunk (the black line is where I was hoping to have the new soil line) and replace a wrap or two for stability above the putty. Hoping to induce rooting above the existing soil line with the wire-winding layer method, root horimone and sphagnum moss. Planning to include a disk of plastic between the existing rootball and the new soil layer to help the new roots spread horizontally. Any thoughts on if this will work?
