I agree that you should contact the landscaper that put it in and have them look at it, get their opinion on what has happened and their plan of resolution. I can appreciate the difficulty as you are there there in person as we are also part timers from WI! I would suggest you contact a trusted neighbor/friend to meet the landscaper and have you on the phone to hear the discussion. We also put in a Sylvester this year and were told to water it twice a day for 30 minutes for the first 2 months. We did and from the pictures we get monthly from our friends, the tree looks great. Our friends also had 4 Sylvester's planted and even with religiously watering one tree browned and didn't make it. Their/ our landscaper replaced it as not all stock is as strong as others. Will be interested to hear how your tree turns out.
