Specialty Gardening: Desert Willow wilting, 1 by TXMel

I have a desert willow tree in a large area that we put mostly natives and low-water plants. The tree was about 10-12 ft when we planted it, but is now around 18-20' tall. It was doing very well until this year, when we had a very rainy June. It just has not been the same. Very few blooms, it has lost a lot of leaves and looks to be slowly fading away. I would hate to loose this wonderful tree, but fear that she is too wet! Does anyone else have any input?

I also have a smaller (6') one in the back yard, same treatment... and has lost all but the leaves on the new growth.
