Make sure you don't over water.

Remember, once dug, the root has to re-grow. Perhaps that is going on.

If the dirt doesn't drain well - e.g. water in the hole - put a 2" plastic
pipe or a small coffee can - bottom out - sunk 90% and filled with gravel/stone.
That will wick out excess moisture.

It might be needing some food - we use a long term dissolving type - to help
it have the needed chemicals to grow with.

Good luck, we have two moved at this time ourselves.

same place i want it as a burgler deterrant as I have a wood and well
used path at the rear of my house with just a 7' fence, which the local
council put up recently to replace garages they knocked down. Hope
