This is my second small tree to try and this one is dying. Live in NC, very hot days now. Planted it about 3 weeks ago. Leaves are drying up. I water it alot every other day. We have alot of clay soil. I have been told to put a sheet over it during the day as it may be sun scorched. Now that all the leaves are red/brown and getting brittle, is this tree going to die no matter what I do. I also just put some 10-10-10 fertilizer on it. There were two trees left at the place I bought mine and they are still outside in a bucket and roots bagged. They look fine, why on earth would mine do so poorly if those still look good?
