My Yellow Tabebuia Is Flopping Over And Has Yellow Leaves

Question

Is my tree dying? It has a soft trunk that is currently held standing by wooden supports. The leaves are yellowing. This has been since it was planted. What can we do to fix this? Or is it dying? The top of the tree has green leaves and a few flowers. photo included

The photo did not come through, but a soft trunk is worrisome. If there are any dead branches, those should be removed. Does the soil stay saturated? It needs well draining soil. You may need to improve drainage in the area. You also can add amendments to the soil that will help with drainage. It also needs full sun. It is drought tolerant once established, so you only need to water in times of little rainfall. Here is more:
