As to the question of whether it's planted in rubble - I don't know the answer to this. IF the soil is of poor quality, then should the whole area of soil be replaced and if so, what would be best?
A friend of mine suggested the tree could be suffering due to lack of water?


What is the soil like around the tree? Did the buiders just make a hole
in the usual rubble, take the tree out of its container and plant it?
