It's probably shocked. Keep it watered. Did you check with an arborist before adding the root stimulator?

The component to the leaves this is green is the chlorophyll. this is likewise what the tree makes use of to make means from the solar. Chlorophyll, water, sugars, and extremely some different nutrition that the tree makes use of to stay are saved interior the leaves. interior the iciness, the tree is going into hibernation. it is often very dry in iciness, and if a tree saved it is great, flat leaves, extremely some water could have the means to evaporate out of it. The tree could die of dehydration if it saved its leaves. It would not rain in iciness, so the tree has no thank you to replace the lost water. as a replace, the tree drops all of it's leaves off. First, although, it sucks each and every of the nutrition of the leaves lower back into the trunk and roots. The tree shops the fairway chlorophyll and the different nutrition interior the trunk and roots till next spring, while it makes new leaves. The leaves turn colorings on the grounds this is the colour of the physique, or scaffolding of the cellular. The cellular partitions that stay at the back of while the tree sucks each and every of the excellent things lower back interior. in case you seem at a lifeless leaf, it is lots thinner, dryer, and weighs under a green leaf. it is by way of fact the tree took each and every of the water and different great things out in the previous it threw the leaf away.

Sometimes a tree will go into shock and drop its leaves. I pulled up a small maple tree off a rock many years ago and after I planted it in the yard its leaves fell off. It was about 4 feet tall then, now it's about 40. Give it time. Don't annoy it too much, just water occasionally and wait. Check it again in 6 months

It is shocked but that is probably ok ... It is also Fall and Oaks are supposed to loose their leaves now. It can actually be a good thing as the tree will devote its energies to root production instead of leaf production.

I would check with your nursery about feeding it. I think you are suppose to wait until it gets established and it is getting ready to "sleep" for the winter so you don't want to stimulate growth. I agree it's probably in shock. Keep it watered up until the ground freezes. It needs a good soaking once per week (equivalent to 1 in of rain).

You really don't need root stimulator,but you need a hormone which can stimulate the foliage.Check with the Cyanamid and other companies those who manufacturers hormones.

It's that time of year. Autumn. Trees lose their leaves in autumn.
