Default beech tree

Can anyone suggest what's wrong with my young tree?
It produced new foliage earlier this year but this has failed to grow
to normal sized leaves. It's like someone waved a magic wand over it
and stopped it from maturing! Do I dig it up or give it another chance?
My soil is heavy clay.


Beech trees are suffering in this heat/dry we have had around here for weeks
and weeks so if it's like that where you live that's why your tree isn't
doing well. The Savill Garden have talked about removing theirs and
replacing them.
