I planted a bloodgood and coral bark on our hill in the backyard that gets all day sun about a month ago. The bloodgood seems to be holding up well in the heat - Georgia - but the coral bark leaves are turning very yellow, dying leaves and there is some black/dieback on the ends of the branches. Should I pull the plug and try to find it a new spot or will it be okay?

How long have you had the coral bark planted there?

A little over a month.

To the best of my knowledge, coral barks are supposed to be able to take the sun. Having been planted just a month or so ago, it's likely adjusting to its new location and light. I would just make sure that your are keeping the spoil moist where it is planted and not letting it dry out.
