| My orange tree has fruit on it but all the leaves have dropped off leaving the branches bare. What do I do for it to bring it back for health? |
| will be how well it produces the first flush of new growth in the spring. A decision to keep or remove a citrus tree based on tree health should not be made during the winter. Even trees that lose most of their leaves during the winter, are capable of replacing leaf canopies with the spring flush of growth, usually with little loss in fruit production. Trees that do not produce a vigorous flush in early spring may have a more serious problem. March is an excellent month to begin applying fertilizer to encourage new leaf growth and fruit production and to help keep an old friend of the family around for years to come. will be how well it produces the first flush of new growth in the spring.
