Help stems turning black quickly

16 years ago

I have a 'Clementine' Mandarin tree that has twigs and the top of the main stem turning black and has lost a lot of old leaves on top growing new leaves and shoots lower on the tree. I don't know wether I need to prune off parts of the tree or if it can be saved at all any advice is greatly appreciated.

The black part of the stem is probably dead. Is your Mandarin grafted? If so are these new shoots growing below the graft line?
