Transplanted Weeping Cherry in Heat: Water by Inches, Not Minutes

Pro moved weeping cherry in hot weather (wrong time). Said water 10–15 min daily. After 5 days, leaves yellow. Shock or water issue?

Watering Fix

Time-based watering is unreliable. Use 1 inch per application (pan under sprinkler).
Schedule: 1″ every other day ×2 weeks, then every 3 days ×1 week, then weekly.
Mulch 3″ (off trunk) to hold moisture.

Ask installer for 1-year survival guarantee. If tree dies following their instructions, they replace it.

Water by measured inches, not minutes. Mulch. Demand guarantee. Tree may recover with correct irrigation.
