    Welp the tree I planted in my yard last year is dying from the heat now … Got on that too late I guess. I might try a cactus next.

      That stinks …

      Are you able to give it long soaking waterings, or possibly even shade it for part of the day? We’ve done this for some of our trees that were really affected by drought conditions two years ago with good results.
