∙ 8y agoTree roots will sometimes grow above ground in an extremely humid climate. In other cases, tree roots originally grow below the ground, but over time, weather erodes the soil and exposes the roots. In some very humid and rainy climates, the surface of the ground provides ample moisture and nutrients for the roots

What is a basal flare on a tree?
Your tree has roots. You plant the roots. They are at the bottom of the trunk. There is a place on the tree trunk where the roots leave the tree trunk. Above that point, the trunk begins getting smaller until it gets to the same size as the rest of the trunk. The basal flare is the part of the trunk where the trunk starts getting larger just before the roots start leaving the tree. If you can not see the basal flare when you plant the tree, you planted it too deep and you killed the tree.
