Technology is simply amazing, and so are the people who cannot orientate a picture the correct way around for viewing, might be a new fad in some cinema's near you, bring your pillow!

Planted too deep, transplant shock, poor specimen to start with and likely not
enough water given at the correct times.

Cut back the dead wood to green. Don't over mulch.
