Start at the end of a branch and start cutting off a couple inches at a time and look for green, keep going until you find it then stop.

continue with the rest.

i hope there is some still alive.

what is the big white mass at the base of the trunk?

Ok thank you, I will try cutting it back. The white growth is something like sap? It was brown when it oozed out of the trunk. Maybe should have scraped it off but I was afraid of damaging it.

That is the very reason I feel so confined to my home until it's time to put all mine outside and hire someone or use a family member to hose them down when ever they want....I don't trust anyone watering mine for that long...I am sorry you lost it and then again you could always start a new)

God, just don't let any of the workers from 4Winds see that poor thing, they might have a cry over it..I am sure it once looked spectacular!

If you decide to get another tree don't use any of the soil from your current tree. If the problem was soil born you don't want to pass it on to your new tree. I grew citrus trees from seed for 2.5 years when a 2 friends each gave me a grafted citrus tree. I can tell you for sure that both my grafted trees would have died if I did not have that first year of growing experience with the seed grown trees.

Ok good thinking. Thank you.

FYI I gave it a massive pruning and will let it hang out in the sun for a couple weeks, just in case resurrection is in the mix.
