Acer suddenly looking very poorly

[Goodie]

I bought this tree last year and it was planted by the supplier, it was about 12ft tall at the time of planting.  It looked very healthy a few weeks ago but suddenly looks very poorly. I have kept it watered both at the roots and through foliage. It looks scorched and I'm concerned that it might not survive. Any advice would be very welcome

Do you have any photos of the base and rooting area?

Are you sure you've watered it enough?  12' is a big tree to plant from a pot and will need many gallons for its first couple of years

spraying water on the foliage in hot sunny weather is not good as the leaves will get scorched and die gallons of water at the base each day or a drip irrigation pipe round the tree and left on 24 hrs. a day till it rains a lot

Give it some water
