    You can plant it now (as long as all danger of frost is past), but be sure to care for it diligently if your summer looks like it's going to heat up early. You could also wait till fall but depending on how young your tree is/will be at that time, it may be harder for it to get well-established. Avoid planting during the hottest part of the summer at all costs.

    You will need to inspect the tree and leaves further for any signs of pests or disease.
    Are there spots or dark markings on the leaves? Are the leaves yellowing?

    Pests can be treated with Neem Oil and fungicides can be used for fungus diseases.
    Here are some links that will help you pinpoint the cause and how to correct.

    Unless you have a cool summer ( 80s f or cooler for a week or more straight) I would recommend waiting until fall.

    There are several possibilities. One is that the tree is stressed by some environmental issue in the soil and is not able to Excessive heat, drought, salts in soil (perhaps from a road nearby) and nutrient deficiencies could cause this. Or, it could have run into some rocks or other impermeable structures underground that are inhibiting its root expansion. Another is that it is just pausing to get used to its new home and will continue growing next year.
    Also check for any color changes or signs of insect or disease damage on the tree leaves.

    The Tulip Tree likely has an infestation of insects, likely Aphids.
    They produce Honeydew, which attracts the Wasps.

    You can treat the tree with Neem Oil.
