I noticed this dying branch on my sourwood tree this morning. I don't have any idea what is causing it. I'm just not sure what this tree needs. I planted it in full sun, but now i'm thinking it would have been happier in part shade. It also wilts if I let it go too long without watering. It came in a 5gal container when I bought it. I did not break up the root ball any because I have read about how picky they are about their roots being disturbed, but I didn't notice any large circling roots when I took it out of the pot. Any suggestions?
