Since my last post my tree has gone from looking windburned on one side to looking completly dead. Last time the leaves turned yellow, they just fell off, I think that was trasnplant shock and the leaves grew back vigorusly, and it was fine for a while. We had a big wind/rain storm a few weeks ago and after the first day one side started looking a little crispy.

I've tried everything I can think of to fix this but it keeps getting worse.
I tried bringing it in out of the weather for a day or two.
Thought maybe it wans't draining well enough so I replanted it to try to improve drainiage, which really didn't help, the soil really holds the moisture in.
I'm at a loss of what to do, I took these today, this is what it looks like now.

Itunescape,
Welcome to the Helpful Gardener, unfortunately I don' have much to offer you regarding this species. As you can see by reviewing these threads two other members and myself have had difficulty with this one.
All the usual advice, good lighting, don't over water. I would think that temps are important for this plant but BigDaddy is in Hawaii and I purchased mine during summer and kept in outside in good sun, so I don't know. I sincerely hope that you are able to pull it through.
