Hey
Some like to plant it so that a few inches of the healthy plant go under the dirt level and its supposed to help stem strength. Personally, I would not plant it much more than even or maybe an inch below level. Definitely do not plant it several feet below level. :thumbsup: Also, most ppl grow a plant indoors for maybe 2-3 weeks before putting it outside. Dont grow it 4-5 ft as that would take months. The transplant shock would probably kill it. Not to mention that you would need to dig an enourmas grow spot to make it happen. Remeber that the hole for any type of plant should be at least 2.5 times the size of its current pot. A five foot tree would be in like a 7-10 gallon pot.

For best results dig up at least a 2X2 spot or better for each single 2-3 week old plant. Turn the dirt over several times, remove debris and amend it thoroughly. Put your plant out in this amended hole early after the last threat of frost.
