    It’s quite a large specimen. Provided you have prepared the planting hole and surrounding soil well it’s most likely a water issue. Leaves droop like that on newly planted shrubs if they are short of water or roots not making contact with the surrounding soil.

    Give it 2-3 bucketful of water directly into the base in the evening or early morning to get the best from the watering & continue to water like that every 3-4 days throughout the summer. Hopefully it recovers soon.

    @Borderline thank you so much for replying. I’ve just watered him so fingers crossed.

    The yellow colour is quite normal, the droopiness is not. Agree with @Borderline
    How can you lie there and think of England
