Not sure where my post went. Hope you received it.
This is very informative. I have grown naval orange trees in Las Vegas and Mesquite for years. I have never really had any fruit to speak of. The trees grow well and look healthy. Every year they have tons of little oranges and they all fall off. I water deep about 1-2x per week in the spring and up it to every 3 days per week in the summer. I use citrus fertilizer in early spring and fall. My soil probably needs some compost. I will add worm casting compost to it and add wood chips as you suggest. Any other thoughts on why they drop the fruit each year?
