Planting mulberry too deep

Question

I purchased a 2-year-old mulberry plant from the nursery. it is about 15 feet in length. When I planted it in the soil, I planted it 2 feet deep, but the actual root part with it was about 1 feet deep. So kind of planted 1 feet extra. I thought it will give it a good grip on the soil.

But now I have read that planting it too deep will kill it. Is it so? What can I do now? I planted it 2 days ago. And my soil is mostly sandy.

Answer 1

As it's only been two days, dig it up carefully and replant at the same level it was in its pot or container when you bought it, no deeper, as soon as possible, don't leave it. If it was bare root, it will have been planted before lifting, so you should hopefully still be able to tell the original soil level against the stem.
