Orchid Tree Sick

I have an orchid tree that bloomed, pods came out at the beginning of May and now the tree looks sick. The leaves are brown and dry, watering/vitamin routine hasn’t changed. The pods are still coming out but I don’t see new leaves. The tree was planted almost a year ago (professionally) and is 10 feet tall and the canopy is 8 feet wide. I am very worried and the tree seemed to be doing well until very recently.

It sounds like your tree could either have a fungus or pests. Try treating the tree with neem oil, which is both an effective insecticide and fungicide. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm ^[1]
