Re-potted these a few months ago from some bigger pots, they don't seem to be doing as well since they have been moved over (even with time of year considered).
Any advice on how to give them a boost again?
Many thanks

What are they? What medium did you use for re-potting? How often do you feed and water? Did you tease out the roots when you re-potted? Which way do they face and how sunny/col/windy is it?
I suggest, for starters, you loosen or remove those ties round the main stems as they look strangle tight and then we can help with the rest when you tell us more.
If you've put them into smaller pots, apart from having damaged the roots, you will not have been able to give them new compost and nutrition ... that's two ways of preventing them from feeding ... that's what you'd do to create bonsai which I'm sure isn't your intention. They've also got plants growing around their roots which are competing for nutrition and water.
Although those are lovely containers they don't look large enough to me for trees of that size.
