I know there are few members on here that know quite a bit about plants so here goes. I have a lovely Kumquat tree in a pot. When it arrived it was loaded with unripened fruit and in full leaf. Over the last couple of weeks the fruits have begun to ripen, slowly. Unfortunately it seems to be dropping all of its leaves. I have checked the leaves over and there appears to be absolutely nothing wrong with them. I have followed the watering instructions on the label. In fact I have followed all the instructions on the label. I have checked on the internet and found very little, except for leaves that have disease etc.
I did read that some citrus plants shed their leaves, but it did not say why or which ones.
What am I going to do?
