Burning Bush

We just purchased a burning bush and planted it a week ago. We live on the ocean and the next day we had a rain and wind storm that resulted in a heavy salt spray from the ocean. Now the bush looks dead. We can move it to a spot that is protected some from the ocean spray. We are wondering if we should do that or just assume it is dead.

Yes, I would definitely move it, given that it is still alive. You can check this by scratching the stem, or breaking the tip of a stem, and checking for any green or living material. If it is brittle and dead all of the way down, then there will be no saving it.
