I have a 3 year old orange tree that was doing really well. In the last month or so, some branches started to dry out and many leaves fell off. The tree still has oranges on it and plenty of green leaves which makes me think it is still salvageable. I live in Arizona and we just had the hottest summer on record. I water the tree regularly and use citrus food. I am not sure if heat has to do with it. What can I do right away to prevent the tree from dying completely and help it to good health again ?
