    Posted this here although may not be a pest,disease etc.
    Crab Apple tree which i planted a couple of months ago suddenly has had its leaves go brown from the tips and curl up in some cases.
    I've given it a good drenching of water as I wondered if it might be the hot weather.
    Have I done the right thing? IMG_1991.JPG IMG_1992.JPG

    Well we had really wet weather until quite recently, I have watered it in general, it's had a couple of good soakings since. Maybe try feeding it

    No good feeding it, wait until the roots start moving.
    Feeding is not always the best thing to do.

    I'm guessing the rootball dried out.
