The last 2 weekends I planted 3 trees from 5 gal containers. Touoght I'd done it right? On the last tree after getting hole dug and sticking container in @ About 6 1/2" depth and after scratching away dirt from top of tree I realized that the Flare was still gonna be below ground level. So I threw dirt back in and packed it down, know thats not th best way but it was now 9:30PM Sun evening. The Flare is now above ground level.
I went bck to the 1st 2 trees and even though I planted above ground level after prying dirt away they are both 2-2 1/2 Inches too deep. Should I pull up and repalant this year / in the next couple of weeks or should I waite untill next growing season/ next winter

I'd replant ASAP. The longer you wait, the more you will stress the tree due to root growth. While you're at it, check for circling/girdling roots & remove them.

Yeah, correct now while everything's relatively dormant and these haven't established far.
