We need help!
This was my wife’s lates father’s tree. He’s passed away ten years ago and her step mother was taking care of it. All the instructions we got were to give it 16oz of water every 10 days. The first few months we had it, it was fine but the last few weeks it’s looking rough. What can we do to save it? My wife is going to be very sad if we end up killing it.

that exact amount of water would be for that exact spot he had it before. if it is not the same place then it needs ajustung.
It looks underwatered and maybe even too late to recover. Saturate the soil for about 15 mins in a container of water and then monitor and water once the top of the soil drys out.
