Sounds like you are doing what you can; I doubt there will be any significant affect. It is not bad to allow the root crown to show in a container plant; if that pleases you. Trees in the ground should not have the root crown exposed because it invites the entry of too many diseases and animals.
I would not stake the tree; it will only insure that it will break later. If the trunk did not break in wind strong enough to knock over the plant, then it does not need support.

John is right, just put potting soil back in if you need do (exposed feeder roots will dry up and die if they are exposed to the air and sun), water in well, and be sure to bring your tree in closer to the house, or in the garage during bad storms, if you're afraid it will get knocked over, again.

Ok thank you both very much :). Actually my tree didn't just fall over. It fell but I was pushing it into the garage during the storm and we both fell.

Oh my gosh, Suzi. I hope YOU'RE okay. Sounds like quite a storm.

One more question,. I need an option. If you move the pot the trunk does not move but if you very lightly pull the large side of the trunk over it does move about a half inch do you think that it may get worse . Should I add the dirt?

Thank you patty. :) It was the wind was like a tornado. I hope that doesn't happen again anytime soon.

Patty I just made a calamodin pie and boy was it good! I used yellowish green fruit. Mostly green because I had to cut so many off because of my last problem

I need your opinion. I have been watching the trunk. If you move the pot the trunk does not move but I if you very lightly pull the large side of the trunk it does move about half inch. Do you think that it will get worse? Should I add dirt?

Add water or water and a little sand around the trunk; it is called "sanding" and it strengthens the root and helps to anchor it.

Wow thanks john! :) !interesting

John. If i do not do anything right now will the problem get worse?

I think you will be just fine, if you do nothing.

OK thank you very much. :) that's great! If I do someday will dirt do it? OR do I Need sand? I made a pie with greenish yellow fruit and couldn't stop eating it. My mother said that it tasted like lemon. Yum!
