Hi Heather,
You're just up the road from me!
I'd say your tree has Anthracnose.
Mix 30grams of Copper Oxychloride, 30g Mancozeb Plus in 4

BJ says...
I put my grafted canistel in the ground during the wet earlier this year. It put on a good amount of growth over the colder months, but it has shed every new leaf at a juvenile stage, leaving a bare stems between the old leaves and the new leaves that are just unfloding from the growing tips.

It is in a northerly facing site - full sun til around 3pm, a bit exposed to wind, quite well drained area (large raised area of lawn).

Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?

Mine's the same BJ, I can't offer you any advice only sympathy mate. I repotted mine up into a bonzai bag and moved it into the poly house till it recovers. We've had a lot of rain here together with an unusual long cool weather and everythings absolutely saturated. I've lost a few gems that have been planted in the last 12 months. I thought my land had enough slope for the water to get away. The
more mature plants are doing fine.
