You need to water the s*** out of it for a month. And then you are okay.

What I did, I added a soaker hose zone to the irrigation system and the trees get watered whenever the sprinkler is set. I have been away since mid August and my neighbors report that the trees are doing well. I also live in Buttonwood.
