Hi there I have recently planted a tree in an exposed area in the garden where it is exposed to the winds. When I got the tree, the leaves where all green, but now since planting I see that some have started turning yellow. I am wondering if the tree is unhappy there? The tree: liquidambar styraciflua 'worplesdon Have I done something wrong and will the tree be ok there? I dug a deep hold before planting, mixed in a lot of manure with the soil and put some root grow on there also. I have also used stake and tie to hold the tree in place. Perhaps I used too much fertiliser? Thanks for your help! Dave —— Note- I have been watering the tree regularly. I put 50% manure 50% soil into planting hole. Could this be the issue? —- Thank you to everyone that has posted responses. I have dug up the tree and removed a lot of the existing manure and replanted with soil and some compost. Will continue to water and see how things go.
