Finally got a lend of a digital camera so here are some pics..

As you can see the top of tree looks health but the yellowing and dying needs are occuring around the lower limbs of the tree. I have retested the moister of the soil using a chopstick & again just barely damp with some soil adhering to the stick. I tested by placing the chopstick 6-8 inches down into the soil and also through the pot drain holes to see if there was any water pooling at the bottom of the pot.
The tree is in the orginal pot as purchased from the nursery and the soil is relatively free draining. BTW the average daily temperature here over the past couple of days has been around 95 - 107 F so I have placed the tree under shade-cloth..
