Why Is My Russian Olive Tree Getting Yellow Leaves?

We recently planted a russian olive tree in our front yard in southern alberta. It has been in for about 2 weeks and is now developing several yellow leaves. The soil is heavy/dense around it with clay at the bottom. What would be the cause? Thank you..

It does sound like transplant shock from heavy, wet soil. Olives prefer dry soils, and will benefit from a looser texture to prevent water related issues.

Providing the correct care for the tree will be key to its survival and recovery.
