help again!!!!

 
Dear All
 
My two Ficus Nitida purchased in January just before the bad frosts on the Costa Blanca still don't look too wonderful.  I purchased them as 8-10ft specimens and had them professionally planted in a good hole.    They are on a slow drip watering system (timed)  to settle them in but there are alot of partly yellowy leaves (I mean that the colour is not the 'dark glossy green' as Ficus Nitida is described but they have a faint yellowishness to them.  The trees look sparse -ish - some dead twiggy bits, I would have expected by the end of May to see some serious growth?  They are supposed to be dense and they are certainly not dense at the moment.  There are some berries on the end of some branches but not many and the growing tips look like they are 'growing'( but that is to a 'real amateur' eye!).  Has anyone got ideas.  We are having about 25C degrees here at the moment.
 
The good news is that the two Schinus Molles which I was so worried about in February look wonderful!!!
