Interesting. So this is the graft junction you think? Do you know if that area needs any special protection or care?

Hi everyone,
I bought a magnolia tree and am now noticing that there is a bulb-like growth at the base of the trunk (see photos). It kind of looks like a number of large branches were cut. Maybe too close to the trunk? I read that improper pruning can lead to problems down the road. Does anyone here think this is a concern? I haven't planted the tree yet and thought now would be a good time to find out, so I can make an exchange if necessary.
Many thanks! As you can probably tell, I don't know much about trees. :)
Bulb at trunk base of concern?

Amazing. Thanks so much. That's good advice. I'm guessing those shoots would sap energy from the rest of the tree? I'll keep an eye out!
