Answer 1

Daily water is important for the first 2 weeks.

Then you can cut back.

Do make sure the soil is well draining so that the roots are not sitting in water. Also tamp down the soil around the newly planted tree again to make sure you don't have air pockets down around the roots.

2 to 3 inches of hardwood mulch will help with moisture retention.
