| Did you put fertilizer in the dirt when you planted it? I've read that it's best not to fertilize new trees because most trees fail to over fertilizing when planting. |

| Only the compost and manure that was mixed the ground soil. We have a bit of clay in our area. Planted it high on a pedestal of dirt and mounded soil around it. No dirt was added above the pot soil. We did this so it should a good chance of not drowning. |

| The tree is trying to establish itself and develop a root system. It can't do that and support fruit too, so it has aborted the fruit. A small amount of dropped yellow leaves is a natural occurrence. Keep it well watered. |
