Expert Response
Thank you for contacting us about your tree. It would be best to consult with the nursery where you purchased the tree. If they are unable to advise you, please provide us with the following and perhaps we will be able to help:
- Where are you located?
- What have the weather conditions been since the tree was planted?
- Please send close-up digital photos showing the branch tips as well as the trunk at soil line.
- Is the soil normally moist or dry? How much water does the tree get in a week (rain and irrigation combined.)
