I have a young river birch in my yard that was planted in April-May-ish in memorial of my cat. We left for the summer and while we were gone, the house was rented out. The man who rented it neglected all the plants and when we came back the tree's leaves had shriveled and were brown and dry. The twigs are still very supple and bendy and if you scrape back the bark on them the wood is green. I started watering it excessively after we got back (it's a *river* birch, so it probably needs lots of water, right?), but it doesn't look any healthier. I think it's alive, but I don't know how to help it! How can I make it healthy again?
