I see so many people bringing trees back to the nursery because they have killed them from improper watering.
First of all when you plant a tree its a good idea to use some aged pine bark or other soil amendment that will hold water.
By digging the hole oversize and mixing in some of the soil amendment and then wetting it well before putting the tree in the hole.
So many times people will not water sufficiently after planting to completely soak the root ball directly underneath. This is why it is so important to wet the hole well before planting.
