| Two week old shrub has brown and curling leaves all over. We've had quite a bit of rain so its not too dry. Too wet, maybe? There's another one four feet away and its doing fine so I'm stumped. I have images, just need to figure out how to upload and will add later on. |

| Here are a couple images. They came in a pot and we used the slow release fertilizer packet provided by the nursery. Came from a nursery where stock is grown in Wisconsin. We added new topsoil to the area when we were planting. Its a bit of a low spot so tends to retain a bit of water after big rains. That's about it. |

| Not letting me see pix to verify transplant shock plus something else maybe. I must register to view. Dan |

| It let me see the pix without having to register, but I'm clueless about quince. Sorry. |

| My #1 rule is never to apply fertilizer upon initial planting because it can cause a similar response. Not saying that is the cause of the brown-out. I have had my 'Cameo' quince completely defoliate (for whatever unknown reason) and come back completely, so don't give up! Scratch a stem or two with your thumbnail and if under the bark it is still green it may have a chance. hortster |

| Don't assume that because it has rained the shrub has enough moisture at the roots. When first transplanted they need a good soaking. Check under that mulch and see if the ground is damp a few inches down. I would echo the idea of not fertilising until the shrub is established. (Personally I'd question it then too, but that's a bit contentious). |
