I have a young red oak, 18-20 feet, 6 inch diameter. Planted by landscape company, this is its second summer. Leaf growth was not good. Landscaper suggested big feedings to boost the growth. I have done this every 3-4 weeks. (Miracle grow mixed with water) Also water the tree 3 x week. The leaves are now falling with some turning brown. I "assume" the tree is planted at the correct depth------any suggestions?

Our summer has been very hot/dry. Extreme heat last 2 weeks (for Ohio) 90plus degrees very little rain
