Default Hibiscus help

I have 5 hibiscus bushes which I pruned in September. Four are doing
nicely; the largest, though, is absolutely leafless, though when I
scratch the bark, it's green underneath.

How can I get it to move along?

It may have root problems. Is it in a clay hole, which is full of
water, or it cannot grow roots as it was previously pot bound..Did you
tease the roots out?
The only way to find out is to dig it up perhaps and planting it
somewhere else, btw is it in a sunny spot.....Position wrong?
Sometimes plants sulk for a while.
Show it the Axe if you dont get any results....
These things sometimes get viruses.
I'd leave it for at least a season, But give it the chop if it doesnt
cheer up. Too troublesome....
