A couple months ago I came and bought quite a few fruit trees...apricot, 2 peach, 2 apple, nectarine, and a pomegranate. The nectarine tree had some fruit growing on it when I planted it (which the birds promptly ate). However, it has now completely dropped all of its leaves and doesn't look so happy. Is there anything I can do to help it? I'm not sure what to do.
The apricot tree looks really good from far away. It looks green still but when up close some of the leaves are browning (maybe from the sun). And some of the leaves have some white stuff on them.
I think the rest of the trees are doing fairly well so far.
Any suggestions would be great! I'm hoping they'll all survive!

Brown edges on the leaf can be a few things, most of the time here in AZ it's a lack of water. In a few cases it's been over watering but that's the exception not the rule.
How did you do the transplant?
And How much water are you giving the tree now, please be specific so I can dial this in for you. The white power on the leafs is a new one for me,, take a clear pic if you can and post it here so I can see what it looks like.
There's several ways to get rid of birds, one of the most cost effective ways is holographic tape tied on the tree with a Long Streaming Tail so it blows in the wind

I'm thinking we just have a transplant shock so I really want to get as much info as you can give me on how it got planted, but the "white stuff" might be a concern.. so lets run this down..
