How can I help my orange tree to grow?

Question

I bought and planted a little baby orange tree (Washington navel) about 2 years ago, and then neglected it. I don't know how it survived without being watered! It has gotten so dry in the past that all of its leaves have fallen off. It is about the same size as when I bought it 2 years ago (so sad). It does have leaves at least now, although sparse. I put citrus fertilizer on it, and have started watering it daily. Is there anything else I can do to help my sick little tree to grow up healthy and strong?

Answer 1

Aerate (poke holes in dirt) around it along the drip line (where the leaves extend), water weekly (not daily) and fertilize monthly.

Answer 2

properly, Oranges can not stay to tell the tale wood completely for long to boot... possibly this is using fact the orange juice would not have the peel to "take care of" it like a huge-unfold orange does. that's purely a gamble. *edit: Oranges on wood are alive using fact this is on a tree, this is organic source. at the same time as as orange juice, resembling a rose that has been cut back, has died as quickly as this is been off the place it become initially become... that's yet another guess. i don't be attentive to... plenty thinking o.o
