I have recently planted 2 young Sorbus cashmiriani along with a few shrubs. The ground i planted them in was completely freed of plants during a relandscaping of the garden a couple of weeks earlier. At the time the ground was treated with a weedkiller on the advice of the landscaper, in order to prevent too much regrowth of the more stubborn roots that remained. Some of the newly planted shrubs are thriving whereas some have wilted rather badly. In addition, one of the sorbus is begining to suffer, ie some leaves are discoloured and shrivelled.
Any ideas on what the problem is and how to arrest it?
The trees were planted in holes containing bonemeal, have been watered well and compost has been dug into the area.
