| Hello, I planted pink Indian Hawthorns along the front of my house in April. They bloomed nicely this first spring of their lives. Our late spring has been extremely hot and dry. The last few weeks many leaves have turned brown and dropped off, though the branches still are green and flexible. I have increased watering by soaking them every other day. Is this the right thing to do for my new plantings? I do not think they have the leaf spot..the leaves are just brown and dead. Thanks for any suggestions. |

| Newly planted shrubs require plenty of water. Of course, we have no idea as to the quality of the soil or how it drains, or if the shrubs were planted properly. How much were they watered before you began soaking them? |

| I was watering them every other day with rotating lawn sprinkers for 30 minutes. The soil was well prepared and they were planted properly. Hindsight, it was probably not enough the last few weeks. Do you think it possible they will survive... |
