I would LOVE to help this plant survive and thrive.Because of it,s uniqueness returning it is not an option.

Perhaps its more unique over there than it is here then, where its commonplace. Prune back any dead parts, but if the growth "at the bottom" is coming off the rootstock and the branches from there are not twisted or contorted, but straight, then that is the rootstock growing and not the grafted "contorta" part.

Does particularly well in alkaline soils, this plant and is fully hardy here in Britain - not sure how hardy it is where you are though, I know some parts of the USA get very cold indeed.

If you've only just bought it, I'd take it back to wherever you got it from.
