Magnolia spectrum problem

Hi folks

My magnolia spectrum looks sick and I can't figure out what's the problem,
I planted it last July and since I've done so it has not settled in well,it was well watered in,I've recently started feeding it but it's not responding to anything.
All comments and opinions welcome.

Thanks

Forgot to mention my garden is a couple of miles from the coast and a very windy site,but ive seen a neighbours magnolia closer to the strand flowering every year so don't think that is my problem.

Thanks for looking

Looks chlorotic to me. No signs of wind burn. If any grass is growing around the base, remove if you can as this will be in competition with it and sprinkle some iron sulphate into or a sequestered iron. Hope it works, lovely plant.
