I picked it out while in the ground and it looked terrific. Part of the planting cost was a 1 year guarantee. I followed the watering instructions but after 2-3 weeks all the leaves turned brown and there is little if no growth. I had them come over to see and insisted on a replacement. They blamed me for not watering correctly. I followed their instructions, watering thoroughly every 2-3 days. Any suggestions would help immensely. Quote \| Reply \| Report

If you post this about your tree down in the forums that discuss trees, you might get even more help. Linda B from SC Newly planted trees do need a lot of water, especially the first year. Take a large bucket (we call them pickle buckets around here) drill a needle sized hole right down at the bottom of the bucket. Then use a pine needle or two, or perhaps a toothpick and place it in the hole. Fill the bucket with water two or three times a week adjusting the pine needle or toothpick until just a bare trickle of water comes out. As I said you will need to do this for at least the first year. You can paint the bucket to blend in with your landscaping if you don't want to see a white or grey bucket every day. Good luck with your new tree. Linda B Quote \| Reply \| Report
