A picture would help.

if you've got advice about the little black dots too I'd appreciate it. I think I have to cut them all off

It looks fine. I don't see any drooping.

it really is drooping though, see how all the tips of the leaves are pointing down? I hope it doesnt get worse. I know its supposed to drop a little bit but I'm very worried because the root ball was destroyed when I took it out and I lost a lot of the main root. one of them was growing from under the shed and I had to cut it with shears to limit the damage done. there is actually only about 6 to 8 inches of root under the ground.
