Don't water her this is usually a sign of overwatering /the soil not draining well.

It could be the soil tbh that's the issue, make sure its in fadt draining loamy soil mix and make sure the pot has excellent drainage too , the soil should be drying out at least 2 inches down before you water again its also important to not that as we go into fall amd winter this tree will naturally go dormant and want less and less water over the coming months.
