I planted a new czar plum tree at the end of April, it was doing brilliantly. But over the last 1/2 the leaves have yellowed and gone brown. Can anyone help me?

What rootstock is it on?- if its Pixy, there should be at least a foot of bare soil at the base with nothing else growing in it so as not to deprive the tree of nutrients and water.

Also make sure that it hasn't been planted to deeply--the topmost roots should be just barely underground.

Also its planted very near to that Cotinus which can get pretty big. They could well be in competition with one another as they get bigger.
