Well, maybe.

1. Soak the tree, pot and all. Submerge the entire thing in a
bucket of water for 15 minutes.

2. Put the tree and pot in shade.

3. ONLY water again when soil starts to feel DRY.

4. Hope you see new leaves. (2-3 weeks; if not by then, sorry .
.. .)

I sympathize. I lost 30 some trees to drying out earlier this
summer.

(Surprisingly, though, half a dozen survived -- as described
above.)
