Hi we are new gardeners so asking for advice plz. We have a forest flame we had re planted it 2 years ago after a house move was fine other than a little planting shock but over the last few months is looking very shabby. I decided to start feeding it a few weeks agao now.. its looking very bare failed to flower this year and leaves are very dry even though they are green. Also some dead.. butbalso has new shoots. Any advice plz I dont want to lose it thanks

What sort of site do you have it in joanna? They prefer a bit of shade and some moisture to do their best, and don't care for alkaline soil, but if it's only recently that it's looking poorly it may be pests of some kind or a different reason. I assume you fed and watered it well initially when you transplanted it, but it may have needed a bit of pruning if it was big - that can cause stress when the plant is getting settled in.
Can you post a pic? That will help with more advice from people.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
