Hello there! I just read your story and it absolutely reminded me of a Fukien tea I have... It is a much similar tree in size and shape! What happened with my tree was that one morning I just found it pushed from a quite high stand (by my neighbours' cat I presume), with its pot broken and roots drying out of the soil... I repotted it in a new pot as soon as I could, but it started loosing leaves and just like yours - they were drying and when touched - they fell... I assumed it would finally die, but I just kept it amongst my other trees and watered when the soil got dry. And to my surprise, this week when I came from my holiday, I found it sprouting lots of leaves! That is about 3-4 months after the falling accident. So, if the branches are still alive and do not break when you twist them, my advise is - just keep it and be patient, it might come back to life!
