Looks like its just in shock, as others have said let it run its course.

On a side note did you bust up the root ball after pulling out the pot? If not tree will always be stunted.

Pesticides kill bugs.
Herbicides kill grass /plants.

All herbicides are pesticides. Not all pesticides are herbicides.

Insecticides target insects.
Herbicides target plants.
Fungicides target fungi...etc.
All of these are pesticides because some insects, plants, and fungi are pest.



But back to the thread, I echo what most are saying...it's probably water and cold stress. I planted a few Satsuma trees two years ago and it took about a year for them to settle in. Once they did, they really took off and retained that healthy/lush green color you look for.

I'd give it a little more time, at least wait until it starts to warm up to see if it will bounce back.

Also talk to the farmer that works right behind you and just ask him to be mindful of your yard. They will most likely happily oblige.

We had a garden set up 100 yards away from a cane field and the drift burned the tomatoes.

Being that close to a cane field may be the end of that little guy.

Yep and I'm pretty sure the farmer isnt concerned about one satsuma tree.
Dude should dig it up and move it.

The policy at work is lace ups only. But we can wear previously bought slip ons until we get new boots. I hate slip ons.
