    It depends on how cold your temperatures get.

    A container tree planting likely needs daily water, even twice a day if temperatures are above 85 degrees F.
    In a container you may also need to keep a young tree in a more shady location.
    Make sure the soil is well draining, not too wet or too dry.

    There is a new dwarf jacaranda variety:

    The pea gravel ground cover is not the best growing conditions. It would be better to improve the soil with compost and mineralized fertilizer (Down To Earth All Purpose) before planting, and then mulch the soil surface with compost or wood chips after planting.
    Jacaranda can be a little messy with seasonal leaf and seed pod drop, but leaving the litter on the soil surface is okay, to add to the organic matter mulch.

    Are these planted in the same area or different places? This looks like a fungal infection that will likely completely kill the tree. It is so far progressed that there is no good treatment option. The best thing will be to replant a new tree in a completely different area.

    The browning of the leaves is most likely due to water deficit (drought stress). Step up your watering program, and monitor with a soil moisture meter to take the guess work out of when to water. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/search?q=soil%20moisture%20meter

    I would chalk this up to the plant food. What kind are you using? A tree will not use nutrients near as fast, and can be fed once or twice per year. Feeding once per month will lead to a nutrient build up, pH issues, and many other issues.

    Depending on how cold it gets, they can die back partially, or fully. They can only survive down to 15F. It is very likely that the cold can affect it, but from the amount of food that it is receiving, I would say that it would be best to correct this first.

    From here, I would start out with fresh soil, and fertilizers that are well balanced. A slow release will be best. If this is already in ground, then stop feeding at all over winter, and let that leach out of the ground until next season.

    This article will give you more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/jacaranda/jacaranda-tree-information.htm
