Hello, I just recently learned about the importance of root flare, so I'm removing the rocks from around this old Hackberry and adding mulch. I'm having a hard time determining how much earth I should remove, any suggestions would be much appreciated. I will be using air and my hands to do the work.

I’m not an expert but my gut tells me gently remove as much exposed dirt as you can without ripping roots or causing damage… you’ll know when you’ve gone too far, and add mulch all the way to where the grass line is. I used a hose and the jet nozzle to remove more dirt than my hands could do and that seemed to help a bit. Goodluck
Root flare is already exposed here
