Hello,
I'm wondering why my trident's spring leaves look so sad and droopy? I have attached three images - one showing the sad leaves, and another showing leaves from a grafted seedling on the same tree that are much more perky looking, and the third shows both my trident and my arakawa next to it that is receiving the exact same watering regime and seemingly very happy and healthy..

I'm suspicious that I'm overwatering since I have an automatic watering system (I only get to visit them on the weekends), so I've reduced from twice a day to once a day. It's been really windy this year also, so maybe it's that?

The fact that the arakawa next to it is doing so well may help determine the problem - do arakawa's like more water, and trident's prefer less?

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve
