What’s Wrong With My Weeping Pussy Willow?

Question

I have a weeping pussy willow that was lovely when I received it as a gift. I planted it in the ground and over the past few months the leaves have been dying off, but there are immature catskins along every branch. Is this normal? I transferred the plant from the ground to a large pot. The roots look great, so I am baffled by the leaf loss. My area of ‘expertise’ is in tropical plants, so I could really use some help here.
