Sounds like you have damaged the roots and the sap isn't getting to the
branches, only to the stem.

Try keeping the soil a little moister than normally you would, to give
it a chance to recover.

Yes I must have done, although the whole root ball seemed to come out
intact and i just dropped it in the larger container and filled around
it.

However, all is not lost because although most of the leaves have
shrivelled, a few are still looking healthy and a number of the
lateral buds have started to open much lower down the tree and so it
does look as if it may recover.

Thanks for the advice re-watering, I will pay more attention to that.
