I am a new homeowner with no yard experience, and had landscaper plant a weeping cherry in my front yard back in late May. It receives almost all day sun, facing west. It gets watered 2x a week along with the rest of the yard; seems to be developing some new growth the past 2 weeks. All of a sudden the last couple of days, the leaves are turning yellow and it looks as though it is dying. What have I done/what could be wrong? I am from Ohio, where these trees are common, but are they "survivors" of summer heat down here? I assumed that since the nursery (Southwest) carried it, I would be ok planting it. Do they need more or less water than my Nellie Stevens and quince, which is also looking a bit straggly.
I think something needs to be done now, but I don't know what.
