Need to know what to do to help my lime tree grows new leaves.?

I live in Centra Florida. Months ago I re-planted an old lime tree on my new yard. At the beginning it was OK, then it shown plenty of flowers but lost their leaves. Now it has only few leaves. How can I help it to develope new and strong leaves? Your answer is welcome. PUEDE RESPONDER EN ESPAÑOL SI LO DESEA.

Patience is key. Water daily. Fertilize lightly every month. It may look like it's doing nothing at the surface, but that's because it's working on producing more roots! In my experience, cutting back an unhealthy tree (as suggested above) is the worst thing you can do, as doing so would put it into even more shock.
Reply:Transplanting an older tree is a major shock for the tree, as however careful you are, you will have lost a large number of roots. It is important to decrease the size of the tree when you transplant. If you have not already done so, cut back all the branches so that the tree is 2/3rds or less of its original size.





The other vital thing is to water extensively. Make sure the dirt where you planted the tree never dries out, and give it a major soaking at least once a week. You have to establish the roots before it will send out new leaves. Make sure there are no weeds round the roots, as they will suck up all the water. Fertilize lightly with a fertilizer designed for citrus trees.
