I planted an October Glory about 4ft tall in Mid July (I got a good price at the time). It is now the beginning of August and this is what the tree looks like now. So far no signs of leaves falling off, however some of the leaves are starting to turn red.

I have seen many discussions about over-watering/under-watering, and that the leaves will turn yellow if over-watered, or start to dry up when under-watered.

I'm hoping someone on here can tell me how the tree looks. I know that July isn't the ideal time for planting this type of tree and I'm sure that there is some transplant shock going on. The soil is damp, and I've been waiting for it to dry some before re-watering.

I appreciate any feedback. I know I took a risk at planting this time of year.
