jacaranda tree

Ok so I planted this tree back in May (?) last year and it has been growing like crazy. But, all of a sudden, about a month ago, the leaves went a dark reddish brown and dried up, but are still on the tree. They brush off fairly easily with a touch, but have not fallen off in the wind. I am wondering if I managed to kill the poor thing or is this a normal winter look for them. I live in the Mojave desert near the Sierras, for reference.

Is it dying? Is there anything I can do to save it if it is? Sorry, no pics atm it’s dark….

To me, this sounds like a fungal/bacterial infection. The tree does require the soil to stay moist, but they do tend to like a slight drying in between watering.

On the opposite end of things… They do not like overly dry soil. This can cause your symptoms as well.
