I think I may be missing something simple. I've been buying a lot of Pings lately. A lot of them arrive bare root and have the outer leaves curled under. So, I've got a plant with maybe 1/2" roots and a ring of springy leaves keeping it 1" off the ground. There's no way that simply pushing the roots into the soil will stay that way - the springy leaves make it pop up again. I've tried to soak the plant (maybe not long enough?) to make the leaves flatten out but it hasn't helped. So far, the only way I've been able to keep the roots in the soil is to remove or clip the springy leaves. There's got to be a better way, right? Anybody know it?
Thanks.
Thanks.
