Hit 500 trees planted in one season and learned something about root flare

I was so focused on getting trees in the ground fast that I buried a few too deep. Turns out checking that root flare is exposed can save you from stunted growth later, found that out the hard way on a job in Nashville last spring. Has anyone else messed up on the basics when rushing to hit a goal?

Nashville? 500 trees in one season? That's wild man I can barely get 50 in the ground without messing something up...

@mark_fisher48 you get faster with practice but 500 taught me to slow down on basics.
