Mounting NAS Filesystems wrt Qtree

I am very new to managing Unix File systems
What I want to know is what is a qtree and how does it change my command to mount a UFS(Unix file system)?

I have been asked to mount a few NAS mounts and have been asked to make sure to mention the correct qtree and check they are loaded fine ...
By what I have read about qtree i could not relate to this instruction?
Can someone kindly clarify and help me understand qtree and its significance in mounting

for mounting i am simply doing
mount sservr:/dir/dir

The vfstab already has an entry like below
sserver:/dir1/dir1 - /myDir1 nfs - yes rw,bg,hard,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,vers=3,llock,nointr,proto=tcp,suid

Re: Mounting NAS Filesystems wrt Qtree

Qtree is nothing but a directory which can be exported via NFS just like any other unix directory. There are differences which are clearly stated in my blog

http://sanunix.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-is-qtree-and-how-is-it-different.html

Mentioning the correct qtree is like mentioning the right share. Sometimes the parent directory is also a share and the sub dir is also a share. Your client may be wanting specific mount points for specific directories.

So in this case /dir/dir - the second dir is a qtree.
