Default Sickly tree..

Hi,

A bradford pear tree in my front yard (about 7 years old) looked sickly and
dead last summer. This spring it seems to have flowered but has very feaw
leaves see images (from May and late June) at

I have added acidic fertilizer and after a month it does not seem to have
many leaves. Is there any chances of reviving this tree? Is this
because of the local soil condition.

I live in Michigan and the house front faces SW and gets plenty of Sun
during afternoons.

Any help is appreciated.
