Leaves Dying on Repotted Avocado Tree?

Leaves Dying on Repotted Avocado Tree - dying avocado treeOur avocado tree was just replanted in a pot a week ago tomorrow. As you can see in picture it's not that tall. It had a bunch of new leaves growing on the top and then it just wilted, as seen in picture. I know it's stressed out. The top part with the new leaves fell off yesterday. Anything we can do to save it? Stop watering so much, no sun for a while?

I'm California and we're going to get very hot here the next 4 days so I don't know if that will make it worse. I told my in-laws to place it in a pot when it was like 12 inches tall because they planted it in old hard dirt and it was growing slowly; no one listens. It's been a few years. Then she planted fava been plants all around it that were so tall it was being smothered so that's why they took out.

So I need help. Thanks

She has damaged the root system on the tree when it was dug up and moved over to the pot. The tree is in shock and yes it will take time to come back again. Hopefully they did not damage the main root of the tree when it was dug up and moved over to a pot. Once you plant the tree it should remain in the location and even if it is growing slowly or not the roots are still growing underground and when you dig them up you can cut into the root and shock the tree.

I would suggest cutting down the tree a bit on the top and removing all the deal leaves. Try to get a little plant food to add to the soil and only keep the ground most and not too wet. Hopefully the root will come back and the tree will grow again.

You might be able to save it but I'm not an expert at this.
I always keep my newly planted and transplanted plants in some shade and no direct sun for a few weeks and slowly move them to whatever type of area they like growing in.
An old friend told me to take about a tablespoon of Epsom Salt, a tablespoon of blue Dawn and mix in a gallon of water and use that when you need to water (do not keep soil wet - almost dry to just moist). Also she said to pour this mixture over the plant when watering (not in direct sun) or spray this on the plant sometimes. It usually perks my plants up after a few days but patience is needed here. Let the plant rest.

Plants like to be replanted at very specific times generally, such as ealry spring or Fall, before the sun gets too bright.

If this is the reason why it's failing, maybe it will pull through if you take care to water lots.
