I didn't post this the first time, but 3 trees have died in the same
spot before this one.  And when we transplanted this one we made sure we
put it in a hole that was deep enough.

Would root bound help explain why the tips are brown/black?
Thanks for the help, and sorry if this post seems elementary.
