It appears that your young tree has signs of iron chlorosis.
Here is a link with more information.

I’m still not convinced because it has seemed to be fine all winter until now, where they’ve been rapidly drying up and/or curling and then falling off at an alarming rate. I thought that Iron Chlorosis was more of just yellowing that would cause them to drop.

My Carambola looked like that in it’s first winter when I was overwatering it. The colder it got, I realized, the less water it needed. Maybe temp fluctuation is the problem?
