Im with Sean...his cartoon showing the correct planting depth is exaggerated of course...but correct IMO.
Clementine, from my interpretation..... the top of the root-ball peach will only be 4cm lower than the level of the tiles around...(and that will also accomodate a bit of mulch to be laid AWAY from the stem).
I see the tree has well developed primary roots, and being still a small spec. it should adjust to this early change.
If it were my tree, I'd give it another year before deciding to remove /replace (but I would discount that may be the eventual fate)...lets see how much vigor it has during the growing season.
