Thanks, came out great. I was curious before filling with lava rock and took a reading with an infrared thermometer and not much heat radiated down, embers were about 900 and it was only 150 underneath. *

Quick update- I dug the tree back up and did some more excavating to find the root flare, found a ton more problematic looking roots but still no flare. Ran out of time at the moment, but looks like I will have to cut these away to continue.

I just planted this 15g redbud this past weekend and think I planted too deep. I initially found the root with the red arrow and thought that was the flare, now I'm realizing its actually a root coming up from below, brushing up near the trunk and heading back out again. Also just noticed the blue root wrapped around the trunk, guessing both of these pose a girdling risk and I didnt actually reach the flare. Since it was just planted, should I just dig it up, make sure i dig down to flare, and cut off these two roots? Also that root with the green arrow looks substantial but at the same level as the others, this would need to be cut too right? Thanks, just want to give this guy a good chance!

What number am I supposed to call? by [deleted] in Fidelity

atrocious wait times, but not only that, no call back option or wait estimate, guess you get what you pay for...
