I transplanted a pine tree(coming from 2 hours north of here), about 4 feet tall, it looks like a Christmas tree.. about a week has passed and some needles are turning yellow.
How much should I water it? Its very hot here, has been 30C some days, in Toronto.. Also, I pressed down the soil quite a bit, is that ok? The wind was moving it and it wasn't straight any more, so I pressed it down to straighten it.. I hope that was ok.
Also, I used triple mix, but where it came from was hard clay. The hole I put it in is filled with triple mix now, but all around where I didn't dig is grass with clay underneath.. I made the hole quite a bit deeper than the root, it has about a foot of soil underneath to drain into, but now that I pressed the soil, not sure how well it drains.. this triple mix becomes sticky and doesn't drain too much when pressed.
The tips of the branches look good, but more towards the trunk it's starting to turn color a little.. one bottom branch is sagging.. Hopefully it can recover, is there anything I can do ?
