tree needs to be outside, depending on your heat but general rule when soil is dry to the touch you water. never water to a schedule. im in summer as well with high heat and im watering 2 sometimes even 3 times a day not a week but a day. your soil looks very dry in my opinion so water your try and keep your soil moist.

That sounds right. After I have watered my trees the whole garden is a sauna in summer, there is so much water everywhere, benches dripping and all.
