Help! My Pineapple Guava is dying.

My Pineapple Guava seems to be dying. A number of leaves have recently dropped. There are still some that are bright green and others with silvery backs. The bark seems to be a very light tan color and somewhat brittle looking. When I test a lower branch by bending it, it doesnÂt snap  which means that it is still healthy and green inside. I have well-drained soil for it, but it has still rained a lot. IÂve fertilized it. It has a southern exposure, but it's between my house and my neighbors, so it might get 5 to 6 hours a day - but it may not get enough direct sun. Also, on windy days the wind funnels between the homes and this appears to stress the plant. This seems to help knock off some of the leaves - although I haven't witness it. It looked so good this spring. Any ideas?
