I recently bought a plum tree from a multi store. Due to limited space it is growing in a pot with multi purpose compost. It stands about 5ft tall but so far leaves only appear for about 6 inches above the graft with the upper branches appearing lifeless! Any hints?

i think i would be very tempted to take it back and replace it .check to see if they still have them in store.none of the trees are settled in there pots at these stores it may just be yours hasnt grafted well.
