Did you move it from previously established ground or from a pot ? Did you " tease " the roots out if needed ? I don't know what to advise as am no expert . Others may be along to help hopefully .
From a pot. I teased the roots out and followed the correct procedure. My other trees, veg and plants are thriving. I feel I may have choose a tree to complex for my skill set.

I cant say for sure but it could be stressed from moving / drought conditions etc etc . I assume you are watering it ?
Yes, I soaked the root ball before planting and used an adequate amount of bone meal fertiliser. We had real bad rain and this seemed to start the changes in the tree. I used a pitch fork to air the soil (avoiding the root of corse) and dry it out as well as possible. Since that I’ve started watering the tree weekly. Could it be something in the soil? Thank you for the advice

I am thinking its the wrong time of year to move a tree . I would have waited until October to replant it .
Do you think this problem could be amended or will the tree not survive due to this error?

Could anybody identify the issues with my newly planted prunus shosar tree transplant. The leaves are turning from green, to a red colour, then orange and eventually yellow. Som leaves have developed reddish brown spots which continue to grow until the leaf dies. The soil the root ball sits in was used to grow veg and is situated in a place where it’s gathers sufficient sun light. Please could anyone provide advice of how I could counter these issues. Thanks in advance.

I positioned it to gather the morning light and then it’s shaded/semi sunned in the afternoon. Thanks for the advice and taking the time to reply. Every bit of advice puts me in the right direction.
