I do not know the variety of this tree, but the leaves seem a little dry to me. It gets full sun and its been in the ground one year. It gets watered once a week for one hour with (2) 2gph drippers. During the summer it was getting this twice a week. Ive tried watering more frequently for less time and less frequently for more time, but it always looks like its barely hanging on. Any suggestions?

Once a week is the right frequency for this time of year. However, 4 gallons is not really that much water. I think you should triple the number of drippers so it gets at least 12 gallons. As the tree gets bigger you'll need to up this amount even more. Also, this time of year your tree will start to go dormant and drop its leaves. Keep on watering it at least once every two weeks in the winter. Let us know how it goes.
