Welcome! to NGA

How big of a pot do you have it planted in? How big is the tree? My suspicion is that the pot is too small and/or the pot is not well insulated. To grow a tree in a hot climate, enough root room and pot thickness are needed to keep the roots cool. Hot roots=unhappy tree.

I suggest a minimum 20 gallon terra cotta or concrete pot to keep your tree happy.
