Dry tree

What is this? 
This newly planted tree is not receiving enough water.

How do I fix it? 
Give your tree a deep watering, Fill a 2o-gallon gator bag once per week, or lay a hose by the tree’s roots, set on a trickle, for about 20 minutes.

Can it be prevented in the future? 
Yes. Weekly, deep watering of your new tree will prevent drought stress.

Special Note: 
Under-watered and over-watered trees can look surprisingly similar. Stick your hand in the soil if you are unsure. You can also use a moisture meter to monitor and test the soil.
