Jackie Mine has gone same way its about 4yrs bought as acuttign at th eQuarry Garden in Fife Scotland.

I think it must be to do with this very changeable weather.

Try the scratch test before you give up on it. Use a knife and scratch away a small area of bark - about half-an-inch, and see if the wood underneath is green. If it is brown and also the twigs on the end of the branches are brittle, then I am afraid that it has died.
