Beginner Gardening: Planting Grafted Dwarf Apple Tree Help, 1 by tildeWonder

I just bought a dwarf Liberty apple tree and tried my best to follow directions on how to plant it. This is my first time planting a grafted tree, or any tree for that matter. It came in the mail as a bare root plant with no leaves. I tried my best to plant it so that the grafted part was above the soil line. However, I really would rather this tree not sprout roots from the top part because there just isn't room for a full sized apple tree where I want to plant this. I've attached some pictures of the base of the plant. I just planted this 2 days ago. Do you think it's ok, or should I dig it up and make sure the grafted part is even higher. Thanks for your help :)
