I was wondering if it is ok to move a small plum tree this time of year - it is already in the 70-80 daytime temp range here, and we actually just planted the tree in march. It is not doing well and is sinking into the ground, we have had tons of rain, and i want to move it a spot with better drainage.
The leaves also have tons of small holes in them, my mom said it would die if we didn't treat it for whatever pest is doing that - but I can't see any bugs on the leaves!
I have never had a tree before, so i am fairly clueless. Please help.
Thanks.

if it is sinking, you probably planted improperly.

try spraying botanical hot pepper spray on the leaves to deter munching.

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

Thanks! I actually found a slug in the soil yesterday....I have never had slugs or snails in my yard before, so I wa surprised. I think new critters rode in on a plant from the nursery.
