Water and shade (or part shade, depending on the plant's
requirements) is all I'd do for them. Water is the most important
factor the first year a tree is in the ground. You don't want to
drown it, but it should be watered deeply every week..
If dug out of the ground and transplanted, there has been root damage
and damaged roots do not benefit from fertilizer, except, maybe
something like Roots (TM) and I'm not sure about that. If this is
the case and it's trying to leaf out, shading it from sun for a few
weeks, if poss, would be very good.
If you just planted it from a B&B or container, water is all it
really needs. You can do prayer dances around it at dawn and dusk,
too, to be on the safe side:-)
