Hi Stella, Our advice was based on an established tree. We apologize as an editor read too quickly. We see this now that is a young 鈥渂aby鈥 tree that was only planted in April. It hasn’t really been very long. You generally won’t see leaves for about 12 weeks. The tree is still developing leaf nodes. Also, it’s normal for the leaves that are there to shrivel up a little bit as the tree establishes itself. The 鈥渂aby鈥 is really focused on developing a root system. I’d give it a little more time. Also, you are correct in saying that a Stella tree is self-pollinating. One tree should be ample. That said, even self-pollinating trees always do better with another tree nearby. I hope this is helpful. f you’re truly concerned, you might need to call the original place which sold you the tree for more information.
