We planted a Palmetto tree recently.
+1
After about a week some of the leaves started turning yellow. Our landscaper said to water it a lot but it still looks sick. What do u suggest?

What was the method used for planting?
does it have proper drainage? Could you be over watering it!?
over watering and maybe the plant is shocked from planting
Depending on the time of year,that the tree was planted,can cause tree and other plants to lose leave. The heat is hard on new tree and other plants. Over watering and underwatering can cause the leave to do this. I have planted many days in the day,tha I work in a garden center and on landscrapng job,and most will be okay,if just stay clam and treat it like it is okay,because most likely it is. transplant shock will do this and if kept water right and mulch at least 2 to 3 inch will help it a long,Next year most likely,the tree will look great and you will have forgotten how it look at planting time. And feed it this winter after the first frosh. Best of luck,and please don't give up on it,like so many people do,looks not every thing :-) at first!
