Why do peach trees leaves turn yellow after transplanting?

Most of the leaves are fine. But maybe 20 - 25 leaves turned yellow and fell off.

I roughen up the pot bound roots pretty good. Is it from shock? I try to water well in the hole while planting, so don’t think they are dry. Maybe they are too wet. This happened about 4-6 weeks after transplanting.

my 7 year old peach trees drop yellow leaves end of May every year. For me, it’s normal.

I agree, my peaches do this as well

If the leaf yellowing started several weeks after transplanting, it is more likely over-watering or other problem rather than transplant shock that occurs in days, not weeks.

Our peach trees drop yellow leaves around the end of May. I used to think it was due to lack of moisture but now I think its normal. I hope someone more knowledgeable than I am about this responses.

I have noticed a few new leaves at the bottom a shoot turns molted pink/yellow and drops. A picture would be helpful.

I assume the older leaves are just more shaded, so the tree drops them.
