No problem @Lyn142. I hope it revives for you. They're very tough. At the moment, it's case of waiting and seeing if it perks up. Give it a couple of weeks, doing what you're doing. Add a mulch but keep it away from the main stem. No more food though.

Yeah I agree that drainage might be the main issue. Working in lots of composted bark to the surface will help and make sure it's not planted too deeply. I've noticed they tend to produce mats of fine fibrous roots on the surface of the soil (the leaf litter zone) so they presumably don't like their root ball sunk into claggy wet clay.

You're right @WillDB - they're quite shallow rooted, so mulch should be kept well away from the main stem, and they won't appreciate being planted too deep. Having said that, if they establish well, have the right climactic conditions, and are happy at their feet, they will generally do well.
