Oh, Susanne I am so sorry. Was it in shipment long? Can you post a photo of the entire tree?

When I spoke to Stan earlier in the week, he did mention he had a CLM problem up there that he was trying to take care of. Here in the South, it's really bad. From the picture, it looks like it has more problems than CLM.

Vladimir in transit for three days. This tree was bad to begin with and should never had shipped out. He did not mention pests in his conversations. Just said that he did not come around to fertilize in time.

Denise there is a lot going on with this tree, not just CLM. I would not have mind those it the rest would have been okay.

I sent him an e-mail this morning and waiting for a response.

In the meantime the tree is separated from all my other trees. Have never had the need to do that until now

I’m sorry Susanne. I have always gotten small, but healthy trees from him.

Looking at picture nr 4 and 5, does that looks like citrus greening?

How do you guys get him to answer his emails? I sent him an email way back in September and he never responded. I had to go thru FB to finally get a response. Are you good friends with him?

Suzanne, beside the CLM and possibly lack of fertilizer that Stan mentioned, what is wrong with the tree in your opinion? This is a learning curve for me I wouldn't have any idea what was wrong and how to fix it by looking at the leaves. Would Foliage Pro fix any defiencies it has?

Susanne, i am awefully sorry. The ones i got were also small and healthy.

This tree is in overall weak health. I suspect pests and malnutrition. My other Meiwa has not grown and had mineral deficiency but no pests and branching is strong. Not as this and weak as this one. It needs a whole lot of tlc to survive. Not as problematic if earlier in the year but now about to bring all trees in for winter, not so sure. This is the very first time I really regretted to buy a tree.

How about you send him text message? He might respond to that. And why would you want to order a tree from somebody not answering?

"How about you send him text message? He might respond to that. And why would you want to order a tree from somebody not answering?"

If these questions were directed towards me, then easy answers. I wanted a NZL and he was the only other source I had to get one other than FWG. The only way you can send a text is if you have his cell phone number which I didn't have at the time. Thru FB, he did give me a different number to contact him rather than the one listed on his website. I have no idea if it is a cell phone number or a landline. I left a message with the phone number posted on his website for McKenzie Farms. I didn't get a call back that day during normal business hours either. I guess he is just a very busy person.

This is the photo you posted before receiving your order. Is it the same tree? The leaves look pretty good on the bottom left.

Denise it is supposed to be the same tree. I got this picture from him before I bought the tree. For me it did not look like infested with pests just a bit nutritional deficiency.

Here is the tree this morning. Leafs are still falling off

I see a tag there. Does it have his farm's name listed?

yes it does.

Susanne, that tree is so sad looking, makes me think why would they sell trees like that!? They have not trained that tree at all.

You guys don't worry, the tree is in good hands just wait and see.

You are right, Bob! The tree will be fine under Susanne's care, but it is going to take longer to return to normal, because Meiwa is slow grower.

I agree that the tree does not look good, but I agree with Bob. It will be fine with some tlc.

Just got an e-mail and he takes the tree back and refund the money.

In the mean time my Meiwa seeds are showing. One looks like is getting at least three seedlings out of one seeds. They look so very different then other citrus from seeds. Hopefully I can grow them big enough for grafting next year. The one in the lower left corner is the minneola.
