Old Lemon Tree Decline After Repotting and Pruning

Likely Causes

  • Repotting shock (30-year-old roots are sensitive).
  • Spring pruning removed energy-storing foliage.

Recovery Plan

  • Fertilize with citrus-specific formula.
  • Water consistently—moist, not soggy.
  • Do not prune further.
  • Protect from freezing.

Expect Slow Recovery

Old citrus regrow slowly. Patience and steady care are key.
