Plants In Clay Soil

I live in Zone 5 and have planted a Yoshino cherry tree in my front yard. The tree is about 5. 5′ tall. My yard has a lot of clay in the soil. It has been a week since I’ve planted my cherry tree. The leaves appear to be ‘droopy’. Is my tree getting too much water? We have had bad rain storms and I’m worried the water is not draining properly.
