I recently purchased a pretty large Autumn Blaze Maple. It was in a container. The roots were wrapped on the outside pretty tight. So I cut a few of them per the nurseries instructions. I planted the tree leaving some top exposed 1-2." Per their instructions. Now, here is the tricky part. My Soil is clay. The Soil on the outside of the root ball, is moist. The container rootball soil though, is bone dry every evening. I have been watering it a little, but I am scared to overwater it. The problem is this. The many of the leaves now have a brownish red tint to them. Is this most likely due to shock? Any help would be appreciated.
