First you do not state your location, which would be helpful when planting a citrus tree this time of year. A citrus tree losing it leaves this fast is almost always due to transplant shock, or from planting the tree in a location with bad soil drainage. When planting a citrus tree dig a hole just large enough for the root ball to fit. Back fill using ONLY the dirt taken from the hole. Make a watering ring that will hold approximately 5-gallons of water, and water the tree every three or four days until the tree is established.. - Millet
