Question
We planted a row of 5 Canadian red cherry trees about 1 month ago.  Recently I've noticed that one of the trees leaves have been drying out.  Is there anything I can do to stop this?  There is no warranty on the tree as it was purchased at a bankruptcy sale from a local nursery, so I would like to do my best to save it.

Thank you

Answer
I would try watering the tree every third day with 1 inch of water--place a pan under the tree and turn the sprinkler on and when the pan has 1 inch of water in it stop. Do this for a couple of weeks. If you have not done so I would mulch around the trees with not more than 3 inches deep of organic mulch not piled up on the trunk. This will help hold moisture around the roots.
