company placed them all close together and pushed some dirt up around

fertilizer of value? How much water should they get? Thanks very

Don't fertilize drought-stressed plants, which these will be -- a lot
of roots got broken when they were dug. Prepare to baby them for the
next year or three when they've been installed in their final home.

An anti-transpirant like Wilt-pruf might help.
