If its araucana, then it's probably dying. Once the leaves turn brown, it's pretty hard to bring them back. It's often from too much or too little water, although they can take both. They get drenched in water here (Chile) for a good part of the year, but they primarily grow on volcanic - i.e. well-drained - soils. Their native climate is high and cold in winter, so I doubt it's the cold.
Is angustifolia the deciduous one? I don't know that one, just the one native to southern Chile. Good luck!
