I just planted an apple tree (dwarf liberty) a few days ago, and I've noticed some discolored yellow leaves with green spots. Online research suggests it could be Marsonnina leaf blotch disease. What are some Permie-friendly ways to help the tree recover?

I had that going on with my honeycrisp trees the first year I planted them. The nursery said I was watering too much.  Year two and three, we are great.

It's good to contact the place where you got the tree.  Most nurseries offer a 1 to 12-month guarantee and troubleshooting.  

I'm also wondering if it's water or weakness from transplant shock.
