Hello,
Hired a company to have a 100 gallon live oak delivered and planted, and it died just over a month later. The tree company is saying the tree died due to not being watered, however we watered the tree as instructed (about 20 minutes a day). Asked our lawn/tree service company (they don't plant trees) to take a look and they think it was planted too deeply. The company is not being very cooperative saying since it died due to not being water it is our fault. Looking for any suggestions on how to prove it did not die from us following their directions as we watered it everyday, but from how the tree was planted.
Thanks,
Cory
