I planted a pruna tree in my garden a week ago and have followed the instructions given to the t. However when my tree gets wet either from my garden sprinkler or from the rain (which in the NE we get alot of) it is flopping...should I worry about this?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Could it simply be the weight of water on the leaves? Do they perk up
once they're dry?

Yes Mike I think it is, but it always rains here and I am a little concerned about it always being weighed down like that...will it be ok?

No, nature can handle it! There may be areas too wet for ornamental
prunus to flourish perfectly, as they do like some sun; but I don't
know about that.
