White patches could be spider mites or powdery mildew. More information here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/spider-mite-treatment.htm [1]

The browning may well be a stress reaction to high summer heat, plus this is a newly planted tree. You can check the water by digging with a hand trowel – after watering, ground should be moist at least 6″ deep. You can check in the middle of the week, if the soil is dry, you can water again.
