Default Black Bamboo "Sorry looking" leaves

Morning all,

My Black Bamboo has been in situ now for around a month. The bottom part looks particularly heathly with limited "deadness" on the ends of the leaves. But the highest shoots look in a poor state to me (not that i'm any expert). I'm watering every other day (as with the rest of my newly planted border). The tallest shoot do appear to be growing in height, but the state of the leaves is worrying me, bound to on your most expensive purchase to date! i suppose :-(

Any help you can give would be very much appreciated

Regards

Mick

PS. Please find attached pictures of the tallest shoot and the lower part. (plus one of the rest of my new border for anyone remotely interested!!)
