Golden Dawn Redwood Dying

[jsappington]

Hi everyone,

I bought this Golden Dawn Redwood about 2 months ago and it hasn't been doing well.. this tree was bought as a symbolic gesture for my wedding and won't be being planted in the ground for another year or so. It currently has rocks in the bottom along with water holes drilled in the bottom.. I used miracle gro potting mix.

I'm afraid I may have burnt it when I put some miracle grow fertizlier on it I was using for my garden... however, even before that the tree hasn't been doing well.. it is in partial sunlight catching the morning sun up until about 1pm. I am watering it about every 3 days... should I increase how often I'm watering? I water until I see some water drain out of the bottom.

Any help is much appreciated as I really want to keep this tree alive
