Has it been over watered?Not watered enough? Had any very very cold days lately?Over use of fertilser/bad water quality = salt build up.Very heavy clay soils?.Citrus love free draining soils.To help with clay soil drainage I would add 80%compost mixed with 20% washed sand and you could put a couple of handfuls of chook manure blend it well into topsoil to break up clay and speed up drying of soil medium.Do not add sand to clay soil on its own it will set soil like concrete.Citrus are Iron lovers.I would give it some Chelated Iron ,This will also help reduce salt levels.If you have any plain mild steel offcuts nails or wire ,they must be clean of any oils ,cut them if needed into very short lengths and place at bottom tree any steel tins will also do .As you water tree steel bits will release iron as they corrode.If you guys eat bananas throw your skins under tree.They contain potassium.Youve got alot of work to do now seeya.

Yeah, funny that, Peter Cundall fell for the same trick. Or was it the hammering of zinc coated nails into the trunk as a zinc supplement?

Sometimes mine drop leaves and this is always followed by budding. I think this is how they respond to stress.
