If you wanted to enhance soil, add organic matter to a wide area before planting a tree or shrub, not in the hole itself. The J roots would be a problem for any tree or shrub as well….you can prune roots if they are swirling around the bottom of a pot, many people think you shouldn’t prune roots but you can. Broken, twisted, rotten, prune them off. Deborah Hi, Michelle,

Do either of those rules (no J-rooting and no soil amendments) apply elsewhere, or just for these small perennial bare root fruits? Wow, how interesting!

I have seen homeowners do the j-shaped root thing and it's very sad to see the plants never take off. And good points about the planting depth, too. Anne - thanks so much for the shout-out! I'm stoked to get your guest post up soon! Very nice post Deborah! I have seen homeowners do the j-shaped root thing and it’s very sad to see the plants never take off.
