Devastated orange and lemon trees.

9 years ago

I just fond this forum today.

I have two citrus that are about 25 ft apart. One lemon and an orange. Both have been devastated over the past several years. I believe this is the second time this has happend to them. The 1st was 25 years ago and they did recover with new growth.
I was thinking it is oak root fungus since previously this was an old Apricot orchard before this was Silicon Valley (Sunnyvale).

Overall, lots of girdleing.

New growth

affected leaves.

Would it do any good to cut them down and replant or would I just get it again from the soil?

If you have a county extension agent it would be wise to contact them. If the service is free have them check out your trees and seek advice from them. A change of trees on different root stock can be a cure all, if that is the problem.
