I need some advice for my little Redbud tree. We live in La Jolla, CA (north end of San Diego), about 2 miles from the ocean. Last March we planted a Western Redbud tree (either Mexican or Oklahoma variety) on our front bank. It has good drainage; full sun all day. It did well for a while with 7 minutes of watering every other day. Then the leaves began to look burned on the tips. In July, we cut back the watering to 5 minutes of watering, 3 days a week. It is getting worse, with most of the leaves leaves yellowed, burned or dropped. By the way, there is another 2 year old Redbud on the same front bank, same watering schedule, which is thriving. I am afraid it is done for, but if anyone has a suggestion for saving it, I would appreciate your advice.
