Lime Tree Leaf Problem

There could be a number of problems causing your tree to drop leaves and being non-productive. First though, you’ll want to remove the dead leaves from the soil in case they are diseased so they don’t infect the soil. You may want to keep several of the leaves in a closed container in case you decide to have a nursery or the local extension agency examine them under magnification. All plants experience some level of transplant shock, that may be part of the problem. However, there is most likely several other issues that need to be checked. Here are some websites with great information on lime tree care and diseases. The first website resource covers growing tips and problems and is very informative – http://citrus.myindoorgreenspot.com/icitrus.htm
