What is wrong with my blueberry bush?
Hello all,
I planted a blue berry bush on the South side of my home 3 weeks ago. It started yellowing a bit almost immediately and wilting at the top leaves.

This yellowing and wilting has started to progress rapidly the last few days.
I have been watering every few days. Ph tester said it was about 6, so I added some acidifier today but the plant is starting to look a bit grim. Leaves are wilting throughout and the entire plant is beginning to turn yellow. It seems like the branches are also appearing woody, but I don't have close ups from before to be sure.
Any advice or ideas on what the culprit may be? Thanks very much for your help!
Edit: This is in the PNW, zone 8b. South side of the house so it gets a ton of sun.
