I planted the above tree about January. It is not straight and some of the leaves are spotted. I attach photos. What should I do, if anything?

    I'd certainly suggest you release it from that post and let it take its own shape, pruning if need be.

    It looks like it's being strangled in a corset.

    I have released the ties as suggested. However, they seemed necessary to prevent rocking in the wind and were looser than the photo suggested. I attach a photo of the tree when it was planted in January.

     You say prune if 'need be'. I have not been sure about pruning. Lots of small branches are crossing and one or two of the bigger ones. What would you advise? Shall I wait and see?

    Any ideas about the leaves?

    I thought I had already replied and pardon me if this reply is repeated. Thank you very much, Tetley for your advice and encouragement.

    I think the tree is planted deeply enough.
