After potting all 3 citrus from the ground, as they were dying my Lime/Kaffir Lime splitzer tree had a borer insect in the lime side, right at the base where it was grafted. Well no wonder it was not happy.
Solution, remove the limb and yes there was a borer insect, making it's way down further, I believe to the kaffir lime limb.
Problem no more and the kaffir lime is greening up wonderfully now. A costly exercise though as the plant was about $50 to buy.
My Mandarin has been eaten by Possums/Bandicoots. They stripped it of all and i mean all it's leaves and then went after the bark on the stem.
Solution, bird netting around the whole thing. Looks ugly but I hope it grows.
The lemon tree is the happiest of them all but still sad. Bring on spring
to help heal my poor citrus.
