Possible dying Cedar Tree

Question

Branches turning brown and brittle newly transplanted in early summer. Had in a pail of water before planting . How can I help this tree survive

Answer 1

Keep the tree watered so the soil is moist but not saturated. Add mulch to conserve the water, but do not let the mulch touch the tree trunk.
Also, a root stimulator mixed with water per instructions can help the roots grow and reestablish.
