About 3 weeks ago I purchase a golden full moon maple tree from a local nursery at a significant cost. The tree is about 3.5 feet tall and the trunk is an inch in diameter. The tree was fully leafed out and new growth was present. A cold snap went through so I didn't plant it for about a week. Prior to planting I placed the tree in its container outside on the north side of the house and shielded it from direct sunlight and wind. I brought it indoors overnight. When tempatures were steadily in the 60-70's during the day and no cooler than 46 degrees at night I planted the tree. This was about 5 days ago. I prepared the bed the tree is in to contain a 50/50 mixture of potting soil, top soil and existing good soil. I have been careful not to overwater and did add root stimulator when I planted. My question is this. I have noticed new growth is dying and the existing mature leaves are starting to show a faint orange. Did I plant too early and if so, will the tree die if the leaves fall. Thank you for your answer. I love this little tree and would hate to lose it. I planted it when the nursery suggested. Please let me know what you think.
