Default My new quince trees are wilting

Here in the Hudson River Valley, we've had a huge amount of rain these
past few weeks (about 1 2/3" in the past week alone) and one of my two
newly planted quince trees seem to be wilting away. There hasn't been
any dropped leaves, but it looks like only a matter of time.

The other quince tree is doing just fine. This tree is further out in
the open and probably gets *more* rain than the one in question.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this matter. Needless to say, I
have no experience with quince trees, so I may be missing something
that's very obvious to others.

Thanks,
Chris


Hi Chris. I'm in th Hudson Valley too and know what you mean about all
of the rain. I really am not familiar with quince trees but are they
in the same type of soil? Is one in a "low" spot with poor drainage
possibly?
