You say 'little tree'?
Does this mean it's newly planted or is it in a pot?
Are the shrivelled leaves of the new groth at the top and near the ends of the stems or are all of the leaves shrivelling up?
The white fungal deposites may be powdery mildew, which is usually a symptom of a plant being rather dry, shady and with bad air circulation, also underfed plants are liable to it.
It can be easily cured by changing the growing conditions.
