Hi all, a nursery planted this Emperor 1 Japanese Maple two weeks ago. It was doing fine until today when we had 100 degree temps, location NJ

History - watered daily first week (as told to by nursery). After first week I've been checking the soil daily before watering as I was afraid of over saturation.

Today the soil felt damp but when I came home a lot of leaves had crisped up. It gets afternoon sun so I put up a sunshade around 430pm for tomorrow, also going to be 100 degrees. I deep watered this evening around 1030pm for 30 minutes also. Thoughts? Will it recover? Course of action moving forward? Thank you!
