Yellow leaves on Redbud tree #869256

I had a redbud tree planted in my front yard several months ago. I noticed that some of the leaves are turning yellow. Since we have had a lot of rain recently in Cedar Park, Texas, I don't think it's due to lack of water. Do you have any advice on what could be causing this and/or what I should do for my tree? Could it be from the stress of being newly planted? I have attached two pictures of my tree.
Thank you,
Williamson County Texas

Dear Sandra,
Redbuds are usually a pretty robust tree. We are including information on their care below. They are sensitive to overwatering so be careful to not over water your tree. Also as you said your tree is young as well. Keep an eye on it at this point and if we can be of further assistance, please reach out to us using the contact information below.
