brownish red color of bark usually indicates dead bark. This would mean your tree has died.
Without any pictures it would be hard to tell. Can you lift the tree from it's container without damaging the roots? Have a look and check the roots. They should be virbrant brown/yellowish/white. If they are completely black, you have a dead plant, which most likely died of root-problems. (Kept too wet, dried out, .. etc)
