Ornamental Cherry Blossom

Hi, hope someone can help?

I bought an ornamental cherry blossom last autumn, I repotted it into a bigger container this spring after flowering.  I've noticed though that since the leaves have started to turn brown - it does not look at all as healthy as it did.  I put plenty of holes at the bottom of the container, and stones to aid drainage, it has had enough water.  I used multi-purpose compost left over from last year, a peat-based one.  

Any ideas / suggestions as to the problem / what I can do to repair it?  I love these trees and really don't want to lose it.

Thanks, Linda

    It would probably prefer a soil-based compost, if you can't plant it in the ground. Check to make sure it's not waterlogged, give it some liquid feed and cross your fingers!

    Thank you.  I didn't plant in the ground because it is very cloggy, clay soil and does get quite boggy.  I shall try a soil-based compost instead
