Giving this one a try

The day I received my bare root tree I planted it. In less then a week it was bursting with new foliage! I have another that I planted last year. Both were savagely attacked by Japanese beetles!

Leaves are wilting

Initially the tree was ok but within the last week all the new leaves are wilting. See photos below. It’s in a pot for now so watering/ soil should not be an issue. What can I do?
