"We dont have to do anything more for BST2 as all children of BST2 are already at their proper place " how can we insert BST2 into BST1 only checking the root value?? say BST1's root value is 25 and BST2's root value is 35, then BST2 will be inserted in right to BST1's root. If BST2 has minimum value 1 (leftmost child), BST1 has minimum 2, then it violates the BST conditions. or even left child of BST2 is 24 it again violates the condition :P
