Hi All
I planted an Early Moorcroft Apricot tree from a 12 inch diameter container last week, after purchasing from my local fruit nursery. I know it was a few weeks late as not fully dormant, but nurseryman said should be okay as only early leaf buds opening. I dug in a mix of manure and compost with the soil and scattered a wisp of bonemeal in there and then watered in well.
Went up last night and the leaves appear to be wilting, and as we have had some very dry weather this last couple of weeks and the soil is on a raised bed and well draining, I watered it with a bucketful of water. However, today, still looks like it's wilting. Is this usual after planting and will it recover once snuggled in? Or have I killed it maybe??
