Hi everyone. blue thumb here. just bought a house with an orange tree in the yard. it needs help and id love to see it healthy. its around 9 ft tall and has lots if green oranges but the leaves are in bad shape. looks like some kind of infestation. also many branches are brittle and bare and break off easily. can someone give me some guidance? previous owners were no help. need advice on treatment for insects and/or disease, mulch, nutrients, watering, the whole shebang. i have never gardened before. previously a condo dweller. i appreciate any help. i normally hang around the kitchen forum so i know GWers are the most helpful bunch around. i am in south florida and the tree is on the top if a slope about 10 ft from a lake. thanks so much in advance!
