Landscaper came out to plant these 2 trees about 3 weeks ago.

They were set twice a day, 20 minutes, with 3 emitters pushing out 2GPH. Since it runs 20 minutes, it's getting about 3 gallons in the morning, and 3 gallons at night, each over the span of about 20 minutes.

Tree are not looking too healthy, just wanted to get some opinions here. Landscape company said the amount of water and timing are all perfect.

One tree is a grapefruit, the other is an orange tree.

I live in AZ, weather for the past 3 weeks has been 50-90 degrees. Starting to get a bit warmer. When the trees were first planted, within a few days, they started to look bad.

I've heard they may go into shock for a few weeks, but we're going on 3 weeks and they don't look any better.

Some of the leaves are turning yellow around the edges and the branches are sagging (some leaves touching the ground).

Check the pictures out below and let me know what you think may be going on.
