I recently planted some apple trees and read that you shouldn't add too many amendments to the soil in the whole you dig to plant the tree at the risk of creating a "clay pot", i.e. the tree roots prefer the soil in the whole than the native soil and won't branch out well.
The advice was to topically amend the soil around the diameter of the tree, proportional to its size, meaning a 3 foot tree would need amending at only about a 2 foot radius from the trunk.
Either way, give it time. The roots need to approximate the size of the tree in order for vigorous growth to happen.
