Answer 2

Don't cut it back unless any of the branches are dead then only cut the dead material away.

It could be suffering from all sorts of things, is it in an exposed situation? If so it may be wind scorch.

Can you see any aphids or scale insects on the leaves?

It's a bit late in the season to start feeding now as you may get new growth starting that will not have time to harden off before the first frosts.

Have a look at this page, it may help.

Answer 3

Has it been in this soil for a few years? if so try adding some fertiliser, the weather conditions could be diferent where you live this year plus the soil could have benn drained of all its goodness therefore you need to supplement it with some additional nutrients.

Also Cut it back especially the deadwood this will encourage new growth

Good luck
