royal empress tree looks like it is about to die

Question

Why does my royal empress tree look like it is about to die? I have had it about 3 months and not had any trouble and now it looks like it is going to die. It started looking bad last week and now all of the leaves are sagging.

Answer 1

Royal Empress is a very fast growing tree and the wilting my be likely to lack of water.
Increase watering and add 2 to 3 inches of hardwood mulch to help with moisture retention.
