I repotted my avocado and fingerlimes recently. Unfortunately after a flourish of new leaves and growth, the avocado appears to have died. Anyone have an idea why?

Root rot most likely.

Hi baldrick,
Try giving your sick avocado tree some liquid gypsum. I'd give it a tablespoon of powered gypsum too.
Could also be suffering from fertilizer burning the roots too.
Some potting mixes have fertilizer already in them.

You say you "Re-potted", Ive never hear of a mature potted Avo.
I do know from experience that They hate having there roots disturbed.
I think there better in the ground and set up right from the start.
Try and move them and they drop there leaves.
I had an excavator back up on a 60cm high mound pushing over a newly planted Reed on that mound.
Only been in the ground one month and it was not broken, Just pushed over.
I replanted it on same day and it dropped all folage.
It took another month to start to show new growth.
