SGlenny -
TreeClimber is on track - water is the biggest factor.
I used to worry about overwatering -- but experience has shown that on transplants it is impossible IF (BIG IF) drainage is good. (If your planting hole does not drain, but holds water like a flower pot without a hole, then you need to take remedial steps like punching a hole through the hardpan -- or get the drainage solved somehow -- French drain, or some positive-proactive creative solution.)
The books say you leave 90% to 98% of the roots behind when you move a tree!! Gotta have h2o available and get new roots started to take it up.
Mulch is the second beneficial action you can take. (4" deep, not against the trunk) (wood chips -- NO GORILLA HAIR!! (makes hydrophobic mat).
Also, books/nurseries sometimes still advise people to "prune the top to compensate for root loss" -- NEVER DO THAT -- prune only to remove/repair damage -- studies show that root initiation is suppressed when branch tips are removed (one of those auxin related growth responses). Of course, the dye is probably cast for this specimen.
Good luck.
