Hello @rayyi58
If you've had a chance to read the discussion - Mop Top blues, my only suggestion is to dig close to the tree's roots and investigate if it has been infected or is very dry. If you can also please tell us if you've been experiencing long weeks of no rain coming down in your area. This will help us in diagnosing the health of your tree.
If you have any other questions that we can help with, please let us know.

Re: How to save my dying Mop Top tree?
Hi @rayyi58
That is a definite possibility, as I mentioned earlier, I suggest digging into the roots of the tree and finding out if the roots are ok and if the soil is soggy and holding water. If you have applied too much water, I suggest changing your water schedule and letting the remaining water in the soil drain away.
