    =( My poor grafted plum tree. I'm afraid I've done something terribly wrong by it. I had planted it in a full-shade location, but realized about a month later that was horribly foolish, and so I carefully dug it out of that location and planted it in a sunnier location. I've been watering it regularily, but most of the leaves have fallen off or turned brown! Rather reminiscent of Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree. Is this shock? If so, what should I do? It's been about 2 weeks and it doesnt seem to yet be recoveirng. The tree is still alive- should I prune it down? Also, I live on the rainy side of Washington state, in Snohomish county (if this is any help.) Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Keep watering and waiting for it to re-leaf.
