[Arid_gardener] Fwd: Blood Orange Dropping Fruit Early

[Lucy Bradley]

The most common cause of fruit drop this late in the year is over 
fertilization which is often accompanied by leaf drop.  Have you fertilized 
recently?

The Arizona Master Gardener Manual which is on line offers some other 
possibilities.

Florida's Commercial Citrus Management Handbook is on the web

Good Luck!
