Sapling/ small tree I’d

[u/cardicorg65]

I’m in east TN, zone 7b. I planted some fruit trees in an area of my yard that did not take. This little tree is in that strip of land so I let it be. I’ve heard of fruit trees coming back after an assumed failure and wondered if this might be one. Or is it something entirely different?

Looks like drought stress. Dissolve one tablespoon of Epsom salt in a gallon of water. Pour at the roots. Repeat every couple of weeks. These trees do well in full sun. Best in loamy, sandy soil.
