Hi, I am TOTALLY new to any kind of gardening, I bought a small apple tree about 7' tall from a nursery. It looked nice and healthy. I brought it home, Dug a whole roughly the same size as the bucked it came in, and put it in the ground trying to use all of the soil that was in the bucket upon it's arival. I also lightly tried to loosen up the roots and what not before putting it in the ground.

I've had it for 8 days now and although ALMOST all the leaves are still green, they are VERY curled up, a few leaves have wilted and died. I've watered it, and I put a small amount of plant food in when I planted it, and I'm totally unsure of what to do. I also planted a cherry tree the same day and it still seems totally fine.

Any tips out there? I havent even the FIRST clue about gardening so dont worry about offending me by suggesting some basics :D

Thanks for reading

Mel
