Do the leaves have little transparent tracks? There's a little bug called Citrus leafminer that does some damage.They also prefer nice young leaves to habitate as well.

Hmmmm. Looks like the pics arn't uploading ATM. I'll try and upload a pic of the Citrus leafminer

Yes Amanda, the mandarin has lots of huge fruit & I was afraid the branches would break so harvested some a little early, but they were still sweet & juicy!
Best part is ITS THE NEIGHBOURS TREE!

It sure is Jujube - I don't why but citrus do really well here - my lemon, lime, tangello etc are all the same....? I spoil them a bit (but not overly) in winter and then it's just water (lots) after that - the fruit is always juicy and fine....about the only thing I can grow properly it seems sometimes!? :)

Should add that this tree is sub-surface reticulated with recycled household water/wastes - and as u can see the sand/mulch is pretty sad. It doesn't make any difference though - the citrus that are not sub surface fed are loaded just the same. (i am around 1.7m and this tree shorter)
Maybe too much TLC is not such a good thing...?
