Transplant problems
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the possibility of death for both trees is going to be the likely outcome. Unfortunately you picked a horrible time of year to transplant anything, especially a tree. Because trees are concentrating on sustating the life of the top of the tree it is most important that you wait until the leaves are not on the tree when transplanting. This can be best achieved in the spring or fall. Another fatal mistake was removing all of the foliage from the tree. Plants need foliage to sustain the life of the plant, except during the months when the tree is dormant. The best thing you can do for both plants is keep them well watered, mulch around them to retain moisture, and pray. I realize hindsight is worthless at this time... but for future info I hope this helps... Best of luck
