Citrus General Discussion / Re: Bearss lime tree needs help

Thank you Laaz and Millet! I got no email alerts that there were replies so I just got on to check. Well, since I last wrote, the tree has lots of new growth and many blossoms. I have done nothing to it as I was concerned that cutting it back when it was not doing well might harm it.
So now I am wondering if, with this new growth, it would be ok to prune it back taking off all of the old discolored leaves, and leaving just the new growth. It will remove almost all of the blossoms, but if it would be the best course of action I'll do it. Maybe best to concentrate on growth this year, and save the fruit for next?
Also, I got some citrus fertilizer. it was all I could find locally for citrus. It is 3-5-5 I believe. Should I fertilize every two weeks?
Thanks again! I really appreciate it.
