Thread: problem with redbud tree
Started 2 months ago by katkat
I planted a redbud tree about three years ago. The tree seemed to do ok for the first two summers but this summer I noticed that the leaves never got the size that they should be. The tree seemed to be struggling to survive. They also seemed kind of wilty, even after a rain or watering. I was afraid maybe it was planted too deep so I scraped off some of the soil.
