Default Re: planting basjoo a foot deeper?

I just transplanted 2 of my basjoos onto a spot that drains very well due to the slope it is planted so that it doesn't get too wet and end up rotting. I also planted them 1ft deeper than the soil line and tried to keep as many roots intact as possible, then used myccorhizal inuculation and root stimulator on them to reduce the transplant stress.

I hope they grow another 2-3ft before I cut off the leaves and cover them up for the winter. Here's the pictures.
