I fact some people keep it on there to give the tree a more aged look.
The only thi by it might do is stain the bark
And I recommend you not peel the bark off
The bark is there to protect against pests.

Damage was done by the Nursery. You should go back and try to get your money back, or a replacement. Your tree is not dead, but you will spend time and resources getting it healthier. Algae is unlikely to be the problem, but an indication of bad soil / overwatering.Cjlopez4 wrote: One week
You have to:
1) untangle the roots
2) change the soil to something with much better drainage and less organic. (I really like crushed pumice)
3) Let it heal

There is no reason to believe there is anything wrong with the plant. Akgea often forn when a nursery has lots of plant oon the bench. Everything stays moist. Just care for it as normal allow air circulation and you should be fine.
What worries me is the repotting and trimming now. We are near winter, whixh is an unneeded risk. Do not ferrilize till spring. Temps are dropping below temps facilitating nutrient uptake.

I'm going to be getting it back into the sun soon. I'm in Florida and our growing season is pretty much year round with a slow down in our "winter". When would the appropriate time be to start fertilizing?
When it has fully recovered from pruning and repotting
