English Oak Yellowing After Transplant: Fertilize, Check Drainage

New English Oak with Yellow Leaves: Transplant Stress

12-ft oak from 45-gal pot, yellow leaves randomly. Sprinkler 2–5 min 4×/week = ~0.1"/cycle, not excessive unless pooling.

Check

• Soil wet at trunk? Augered hole in clay = "pot" holding water.
• Hole should be 2× root ball width, backfilled with good soil.

Action

• Fertilize 10-10-10 at 1 lb/inch trunk diameter. Water in or before rain.
• No weed-and-feed.
• Photo would help diagnose.
