I think I messed up the soil for this tree. it was beautifully healthy four days ago when I planted it! this is a Liquidambar slender silhouette about 6 feet tall on the north side of a building but it does get early morning east sun.

it was planted where a cedar tree was removed and I tried to pull out all of the shredded clippings. the extra soil that I used was that vigoro organic potting mix that seems to have some fertilizer already in it. then I threw in a tiny bit of ammonium sulfate 1t maybe. thinking that it would compensate for too much bark or tree mulch mixed in with the dirt. is not water logged, nor does it have dropping leaves. they are just turning yellow by the handful and almost as the hours go by. I guess I need to dig it up and find other soil. Then dig and throw out all soil near planting hole? Any other ideas? Can anyone help? I've been waiting to plant this for weeks. Love it!

Thank you!!
