Question on an Awari (spell) mature satsuma.

Last freeze hit hard. Tree has 3 main branches. One whole branch appears dead. I scratched the bark in several place and there was no sign of life. One main branch has growth on some downstream branching and the third main branch shows good life. But all of the new foliage is wilting as though it needs water. With all the rain we've had water should not be the problem. Any thoughts on why the wilting?

Not sure, but I have a citrus doing the same thing. The bottom branches are still good. I will let it do it's thing and trim it next winter.

Mine did this wilting around this time several years ago after a hard freeze. I kept it going with copious amounts of water, and organic citrus fertilizer so that it wouldn’t have fertilizer burn.
But As the weather got hotter that summer, it failed to keep up, and died. The leaves never got past the “baby” leaves
In my “post-mortem” trying to understand what happened, I read and confirmed there was both live and dead wood in the same stem. So the limited stem part that was still alive and supporting the new leaves was not enough to support the new growth over time.
Keep pampering it; there may be enough of a living part of the stem to allow it to pull through. Keep us posted.
