Sean this guy keeps eluding to a root ball. Clementine I feel that this stock has in fact been too deeply buried for it's harvested life. I personally would not trust the grade of soil that was given to you. Sean is right and the tree wil live but with very retarded growth. Carefully excavate the existing root ball until you discover the root flare. This is the point where the trunk organ and the root organ interchange. This is also the correct planting depth. I have seen this many times and this is why nursery standards are important. 40 mm makes a difference but I feel this is greater than 40 mills and none of it is your fault.
