Bradford pear - whats wrong with it?
 

The below bradford pear's leaves are turning brownish and wilting. The
guy at the garden place told me to water it every other day after
planting it, and that's all that needs to be done. I did that, and
about 4 days later it started looking like this. It has been planted
for about 5 weeks now. Is it dying? Should I water it more? Less?
Is there anything I can buy to help it out (i.e. fertilizer..ect)?

Also, why are the good leaves a light green? All the other bradford
pears I see have very dark green leaves? Is it because it's a small
bradford? Will the color change?

What is that dark stuff you mulched it with? Don't recognize it...

I just watered it before I took the pictures, so it's just basic brown
mulch that is wet..making it look dark.
