    This could be a number of things - too little water (especially if something is restricting the roots), over fertilizing, leaf scorch (if planted in too much sun), or even a fungus. It may help to prune the plants to help rejuvenate them. Also, step on the soil around the plants to eliminate any air pockets that may be lingering, which would make it difficult for the plants to take up water, then water the area well. And to err on the safe side, treat the tree with fungicide. Also, if newly planted, it may be due to transplant shock.

    When you have a group of plants, all planted the same time from the same place, and one of them is not doing as well as the others, most of the time is because that plant is simply not strong. You might think about the group of trees to see if you can find anything that's different for the yellowing one. The small one could be in shade a significant part of the day. Another thing that comes to mind is that for some reason the soil around that plant is negatively affected by something. You could have a soil test on the soil around that one plant, to see if anything is going on there, This article on yellowing leaves might be useful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/plant-leaves-turn-yellow.htm

    Newly planted trees need lots of water. Daily for the first few weeks, and more if the is dry and warm.
    If the tree has received to much water, due to rainfall, there is little to do except hope the roots can dry out.

    Yellowing leaves is generally a sign of watering issues. The tree is also most likely stressed from the planting.
