 Problem With Orange Trees
We have just inherited 2 orange trees a tangerine tree and a plum tree (hardly an orchard) when we bought a property in Portugal mid 2007 and there seems to be a problem with the citrus trees as they look rather unwell.
First thing is, at the moment we don?t live there and only get there a few times a year, so for nourishment they just get what god gives them so the leaves look rather wilted and there are some dead branches here and there.
Also it looks like they have some sort of infestation on the back of some of the leaves as per the photo, also some of the fruit has become mouldy or is splitting whilst on the tree.
Could anyone please give us an indication as to what the problems are and how to correct/treat them as it would be a pity if they died.
Thanking you all in anticipation for passing on your wealth of knowledge to us.
