Why Has My Katsura Tree Grown Tiny Leaves This Year Instead Of The Large Heart Shaped Leaves It Had When It Was Delivered Last Yea

Question

r? We were unable to plant it for three weeks after it was delivered in October by which time a lot of the leaves had fallen off.

Answer 1

Leaves will start out small, and grow larger. Likely, it needs more time.

However, if the tree stays stuck throughout the year, then I would suspect that the roots were disturbed too much during transplant. It will take some time to recover, but as long as you care for it as it should be, then it should recover just fine.
