    Hi everyone

    I do not know if I am posting in the correct place but here goes.

    I was given an outdoor orange tree by a friend. His gardener removed it during some landscaping work and I replanted in my garden. Everything seemed to be going well, and we even had some small oranges (although they didn't seem to ripen properly). After around 9 months I decided I needed to move it about 1ft away from the boundary wall to better suit my garden plan... and then the problems started.

    Since that day the leaves have reained shrivelled (see photos) and some parts of the tree seem to be dying (see photos).

    HELP!!!

    PS... I live in Sao Paulo Brazil... bang on the tropic.

    You might be best to seek local advise. Brazil is a long way from UBC or you could re-post on the Citrus forum here.

    I know what you mean, but I have yet to find a gardener that I trust... finding hired help here is a nightmare.

    Anyway... ref the citrus forum... will do... thanks
