Help, What's wrong with my plant?

My little willow tree had been pretty happy ever since spring came around and grew leaves like it was a contest. Then, the local ants had their little aphid farms on the new leaf buds. I tried to combat them by spraying them with soap water first, then later with (cold) nettle tea.
It worked. The aphids and the ants both left my plant alone, but about two weeks later, when i checked on my plant, i noticed that the leaves were suddenly all dried up. The plant looked fine the day before. The soil is moist, and the pot has drainage, so i don't think it is a water thing, but i am really worried. Please help.

I am gonna say that it’s a tree. Even if it’s a small tree … I bet it’s bout bound and needs a bigger pot.
The soil is being kept moist and it's being kept outside in a sunny spot where the rain can get to it. I check on it regularly, since i basically walk by it every day. So if the weather is dry, i water it as needed.
I've been repotting it this spring and i had given it more soil about a month ago.
Update: my plant started growing new laves after the old ones dried off. Seems i didn't need to worry too much :)
