Your question is disturbing!! Let me see if I understand you correctly. You are asking if a tree can grow without disturbing the soil??? A hole big enough to allow the roots to expand and to add compost is going to disturb the soil greatly. You stick the sapling into the hold, water it, replace the soil and watch it grow. This is the process for all trees. Do you have a problem with that? Face it, anyway you look at it your soil will be disturbed and the trees with love it.
