Howdy,
--speaking of trees.
I have a Key Lime that could be about 20 yrs old. It's an abundant producer... could be 1000 small fruit a yield. This last frost/freeze the leaves have turned white and are dropping like crazy ... it will be barren soon. Small twig/branches are still green - some tips may be brown but most sample cuts appear green. Question: Does anyone know if it will be OK or is it dying a slow death? A Tangerine 10 ft away is bountifully healthy (good fruit!), my AZ Sweet 20 yr old large tree is fine. As I remember the freeze of 2006 didn't affect the Key Lime with white leaves that are falling like crazy.
“Don't give up too quickly"... unknown, I heard it somewhere.
