Hi I recently purchased a potted green leafed Japanese maple. After I pruned a few branches, the entire tree started to drop all of its leaves. I noticed small webs under the leaves and sprayed with an organic pesticide. The leaves are still dropping. They are turning brown at the edges and curling and then dropping. The soil also has a hard time drying out. I have withheld water now for a week. I have noticed that the soil I purchased it in is clay. Should I remove all the soil given all the issues and replace with better draining soil? I have done the finger nail test and it’s green underneath. I have performed this all over the tree and it seems fine. New buds seem to be appearing but when new leaves emerge they quickly turn brown at the edges and dry. Any help would be great thanks!
I forgot to add that I am in Florida in the middle of summer and the tree is in full shade with plenty of bright indirect sun light.
