John, the first thing I usually do when I buy a tree is to very carefully (with a chopstick) scrape away some soil around the trunk to see what is there. Sometimes you'll get a couple more inches of thicker trunk, sometimes, better rootage, sometimes both.

The branches that appear too low now, may not be.
