My neighbor moved in a month or so ago and brought these emeralds in 3 large pots and transplanted them on a little hill next to garage. A few days after transplant the wind knocked them over, he re-staked then the same thing happened again twice more. When he first brought them they were green now they are brown or turning brown. I know they had to have suffered shock from transplant and having to be put back in ground multiple times. I water them because he never does, and I think he doesn't have them planted deep enough, but what can I do to help them I feel so bad everyday I look at them and they get worse. Please help!

That is a difficult one @Jenster100 . I think there is possibly too much damage done, and once these start to brown there is often no way back. Ideally it would have been much better for your neighbour to have planted very much smaller trees and allow them to establish some roots. It is a mistake so many people make who want an instant result.
I suppose you could have a chat about replacing with small ones? They might be happy that you care

Ugh thats such a shame they were beautiful trees when he brought them. I just planted 20 1ft green giants for privacy knowing the smaller they are the more chance they have of survival. They are so small but green and starting to fill out lower to the ground so I hope they are establishing themselves. Well I will have to have a chat with him then and hope for the best. Thank you for your time.
