Why Is My Citrus Tree Sick?

Watch this short video first. Then select the symptom that best matches your citrus tree.

 

Most citrus tree problems begin with visible symptoms. Yellow leaves, leaf spots, fruit drop, bark damage, sticky leaves, branch dieback, and poor growth can all indicate that your citrus tree is experiencing stress. Many homeowners immediately assume disease is the cause. In reality, watering problems, nutrient deficiencies, insects, root damage, soil conditions, and environmental stress often create similar symptoms. Use the symptom guide below to find the condition that most closely matches your citrus tree. Each page contains additional information to help identify potential causes and treatment considerations.
