i have a curry leaf plant which is not even one year old. It was doing well, it went dormant (did not produce leaves at all) since its winter and thats what curry leaves plants do in winter. and all of a sudden yesterday till today, all the leaves and petioles went dry and fell off except for one petiole. The stem is still very green and fresh despite being this way for two days. Is this a stage of dormancy or is the plant dying? I've heard of curry leaves plants with hard wood branches dropping all its leaves like a deciduous tree and bouncing back, but I've never seen a fully immature tree doing this.
