I don't understand the issue because the trees under the same conditions it's done so well in all season ==>>> the issue you dont understand.. is that its august ... nights dont cool down for a recovery period... august conditions are not even close to those of spring and early summer .... you have a huge transplant.. and its not enjoying its first summer .. BTW... potted.. or BBurlap ... ??? water properly.. especially in regard to your clay soil.. and otherwise ignore it... its not hungry.. fert is not a remedy ... is it really in that much shade???? all that said... the 65 year old sycamores on moms street.. do this year around.. for 50 odds years.. its a sycamore ... i would speculate.. that a 15 foot transplant will take upwards of 3 years.. to get fully established.. for you to stop worrying about it.. in the mean time.. water properly ... see link on proper watering.. dealing with clay.. and amending planting holes ... ken ps: and if you are one of the lucky few.. who have had substantial rain this summer.. then you ought to find out.. if the soil is draining in your clay .... dig some small holes and find out ... Here is a link that might be useful: link
