what is the diameter of the tree trunk? Small trees less than or equal to 2 inches in caliper can survived if they were pulled out of the ground properly (i.e., taken out with enough surrounding soiled to make a root ball no less than 2 ft in diameter. And yes, once re-planted, needs a good and deep soaking of the root ball, plus mulch on top. Water every 3rd day in this heat wave and it should survive if done correctly. But, who knows if someone will stay on top of this kind of maintenance until this fall to keep it alive.
