Newly planted persimmon
I planted this two weeks ago, and the weather has been all over the place here in Central VA. Warm, cool, very little rain. I’m watering about every three days. I’ve noticed on warmer days where it went over 80 and was in the sun all day. It looked a little wilted. I’m sure it’s transplant shock. We’re getting ready to have some 90+ degree days for the next 3 to 4 days. I put a tomato cage around the tree and hung a little sheet of frost cloth on the southwest side to protect it from afternoon sun during this heat wave. Is this ok?
