Does anyone know why my Japanese Lilac Tree (at least that's what I think it is - got it at a yard sale) has developed a reddish color to it's leaves at the tips of branches? They seem droopy, too. Is it normal? I don't remember it being like that last summer when I planted it. Also, did I plant it too high? (See next pic.) I'm so afraid of planting too low which I know is wrong that I may have gone too far the other way!
