    I don't see any crack in the bark in the images that you provided.
    You tree does look stressed and careful watering needs to take place; daily for the first 2 weeks.
    3 to 4 inches of hardwood mulch will help with moisture control, but avoid mulch in a 6 inch diameter around the base of the tree.

    Review the planting and care information in the link below.

    This image appears to show some sort of damage to the trunk, since the bark has peeled away. I might suggest checking with the garden center that you purchased your tree from, they may offer a replacement.

    Most bark damage can heal on it's own, but you should watch for signs of pests or disease.

    If your branches died of disease, they definitely must be removed. If they died due to underwatering, removing them is not quite as urgent. Depending on how old the tree is, it may not have been planted correctly. These articles may help you:

    It may be from improper pruning.

    Watering a newly planted tree is very important.

    Make sure the soil and planting area is well draining.
    Daily water for 2 weeks, then a bit less; but regular irrigation throughout the growing season.
    3 to 4 inches of hardwood mulch will help with moisture control.

    If the branches snap and break off, they have died.

    Most reputable garden centers will guarantee a new tree for 1 year, so if it does not come back next year, you may be able to have it replaced.

    Make sure you are watering properly, you will need to check daily or even twice a day if temperatures are above 85 degrees F.
    Soil should be moist, not soggy or dry.

    Make sure the container is draining, you may need to 'lift' the pot from the ground to ensure drainage. You can set the container on bricks or garden centers sell pot lifter feet.
