Depending on the powder that you used, it may not have been a fungicide. This is what will be necessary to kill off a bacterial infection, which is what sounds like it happening. I cannot say with certainty, as your photo did not come through.

Here are some articles that will help you to use fungicides correctly, and to care for the tree:
