Is the rootball getting soaked when you water? The roots may either be not moist enough or can't keep up with evaporation.

P.S. You may want to move it another two feet or so away from the foundation.

It's planted pretty high in some tight clay soil. The rootball itself does not seem overly wet, but the soil around it is very wet. Does this look more like a dry or wet issue. I hope the second pic is clear, it shows that some of the new growth has lost it's needles when you touch it.

two issues ...

first.. you planted it at its worst moment.. it was budding out ... putting a great strain on the roots pumping enough water for its new growth ...

and then the wind.. which wasnt your fault ... most plants transpire.. just an added water demand ...

if the sun hits that brick.. it could be an oven ...

insure that there is water thru the whole rootball ...

if possible, shade it for a week or so ... just to let the roots get pumping ...

now.. all that said... it is not uncommon ... even on established plants .... for the new flush to be sooo fast .. that they simply cant hold themselves up ... taking a few days/week to pump enough water into them to bring them back up ...

perhaps.. there was a plethora of fert in the pot.. which was triggered by planting ...

its also planted too close to the house .... perhaps it can be moved in the fall ...

i dont know what i would have done.. if i got a plant that close to budding out .... i might have sunk the pot and all.. and waited for fall planting.. on an expensive plant ...

wait and see ... if you have a warranty ... hang on to it ....
