Answer 1

This disease has probably infected your other tree and killed it. Many diseases that infect one stonecrop (like cherries) will infect all trees within the genus. This disease needs to be treated, or it becomes a problem for all related trees in the area. Unfortunately, your photos did not come through, so I am unable to make a further diagnosis.

Usually, container trees are killed by overwatering. It is important to monitor soil moisture. This article will help:
