Tulip Tree, Overwatered

Question

A tulip tree that is approx. 5 metres tall (existing) has dropped all its leaves after regular watering to establish new turf surrounding it.The roots may have been sodden for 2 weeks until drain was installed and irrigation cut back. Tree has no leaves and no obvious buds. Do you think it could come back? Is there anything I can do? (soil around base is not too wet now) Any tips much appreciated.

Answer 1

Were the leaves turning yellow before dropping? This would be an indication of root rot. Here is more info on root rot and how to treat it: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/root-rot-in-garden-plants.htm
