Here are some great ways to kill a newly purchased, healthy tree. 1. Leave it in your hot car, even for just a couple minutes (really), while you do some extra shopping or grab lunch on the way home. 2. Letting the leaves and other foliage touch the hot windows inside the car on the ride home. 3. Riding standing up in the back of a pickup, even if you arent taking the freeway. Just driving a few miles at 45 is enough to wind burn, shred, or blow off the leaves. 4. Laying the tree down in the back of a pickup and having the foliage and branches touching the scorching hot metal of the pickup bed. 5. Forgetting to water the tree, both while it is in the pot waiting to be planted and once it is planted. Unless you plan on planting as soon as you get home, you should always water your tree as soon as you get it home. Once planted, still water well every day for at least a week or two. 6. Fertilizing a newly planted tree. Young trees are not able to handle the high nitrogen in most commercial fertilizer and the the nitrogen can literally burn the roots. tropicamango
