We planted a chanticleer pear tree about a week ago. How often should we water it?

The tree is about 8 ft tall. We water daily, but the leaves look droopy. The branches feel damp, I think we may have given it too much water. Any suggestions? Thank you

Chanticleer pear (Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’) The 'Chanticleer' Pear is a upright-pyramidal tree that is much narrower than other ornamental pears. This tree makes a valuable addition to the landscape and is a good choice where lateral space to spread is limited. It has attractive flowers, foliage and fall color. 'Chanticleer' is less susceptible to early freezes than other Pears. It will grow up to 40 feet high and 15 feet wide. The 'Chanticleer' Pear is very adaptable to many different soils and it tolerates drought, heat and pollution. Plant in full sun. Prune in winter or early spring. Hardy to zone 4. Because of its shape, the crown is less prone to branch breakage with heavy winter snow. This variety of callery pear is resistant to fireblight

Pyrus calleryana 'Chanticleer'

'Chanticleer' pear like all Callery pear trees is shallow-rooted and will tolerate a wide range of soils including periodically dry, moist but not continually wet, clay, and alkaline. Narrower than the 'Bradford' pear and more tailored in appearance, it is a good tree where spread is limited. Multiple leaders are common, but maintains a tight branching structure and requires little pruning. It has good resistance to pollution and fireblight. It produces profuse white spring flowers followed by small, round, hard, bitter fruits. The shiny dark green summer leaves turn orange or gold red to red purple in the fall.
Reply:just waer it based on how dry the soil is;

dry-water

moderate-sprinkle

wet-no water

this is the more practical way, the guy up top may have gone through all technical stuff but do you really need to know why it needs water and all that stuff, no you just need to know how much it needs. too much info will mess your watering up and the tree will die if you listen to the guy on top. just follow what i said and you'll be fine
Reply:water it once a week, unless you get alot of rain in your area..

you may have given it too much water, back off of watering it so much..
