hi, i'm a beginner in gardening and i wanted a small tree for the front of my house so i got weeping crab apple tree and planted it yesterday (7th may) its an open area and was quite windy when i planted it, i went to have a look at it today and was so disheartened to see that all the white flowers have died, i complied to all the planting and soil requirements for the tree, can you please tell me why this has happened and will it recover and also will it cope with strong weather conditions?
