The signs you describe are characteristic of water deficit (drought stress). Or could be fertilizer burn.
“Watered regularly” means how much, how deep, how often? Fertilized with what material at what rate of application?
Watering should cover a wide area, not just at the base of the tree trunk. It should be infrequent, once or twice a week, depending on the climate, not daily. And it should be deep, achieving 10 -12 inches of penetration into the soil profile. Check after watering to see how deep it went, by digging a small test hole, or using a soil moisture meter.
Avoid excessive high Nitrogen chemical fertilizer; it can cause drying and reduced ability of the roots to take up water and therefore causes drying of the foliage.
