Dwarf Santa Rosa Plum help

Question

We planted a Dwarf Santa Rosa plum this past late spring/early summer (southern CA). The leaves are turning brown and crisp at the edges and are slightly curled. We water it pretty consistently. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You may be watering consistently, but it still may not be enough for a tree in its first year. I would recommend increasing water to the tree. Make sure that you are watering deeply so that the water is getting all the way down into the roots.
