You are right to leave them in partial shade for a while......let them settle into their new home.....I suggest you leave them for 2 weeks and dont fertilize at all....Did you add any slow release? I try to make the mix as boring as possible when i transplant and add inorgaanics...I like perlite......to improve the drainage.....I also keep them on trays with pot feet to keep the air flow under the pot and stop them sitting in water...citrus hate that. I water them with seasol(seaweed)...water first and then a weak solution of seaweed and thats it....the seaweed stimulates root growth.........Let the pots dry out between waterings......put a stick down the mix and if it comes out wet...dont water.....dont feed until you see top growth....this might be a while..esp if the roots arre doing their thing......They look healthy......in the long run...look for roots growing out the bottom of pot...then repot.....dont disturb the roots much next time....just tease roots out a bit and pick a pot that 2 to 3 inches bigger all around than the rootball. Some slow release osmocote with a npk 5/1/3 would be good on top when growth is going on....no need to mix into soil.....little and often is better...not up against the trunk............fish emulsion and seaweed make goodd organic liquid feeds...always water plant first before watering with the feed.....move to full sun gradually....in winter move to shelter from excess rain/cold winds.If you were careful with the trees they shouldnt drop their leaves.......you will know after two weeks if you pissed them off!...remove any growth from below the graft(presume they are grafted trees)...are they dwarf? because if they are not....they will fill those pots pretty quick.Good luck

To be on the safe side, if you are very worried about this, you should ask a reputable nursery who supplies them, and see if they can ask the supplier, or ask for the suppliers number.. You might have to pay a bit more for the plant, but you will feel more sucure in your descision to buy from a good nursery..they can be trusted if reputable. Sometimes there are advantages to buying at a nursery or garden shop verses a Department store.:-) In fact, it was a local Home Depot that put one of our local nurseries out of buisness.:-( There they always had a 'specialist' or people with all kinds off horticultural knowledge.. I miss them.. Mike

Wait until your Spring, when both your tree and the rootstock are actively growing. Ask your local nurseryman for a good rootstock for your area; get 10; then do 10 T-buds or chip buds; and if you do them carefully, you should get at least 2 or 3 to take. When they are strong and growing well, I would take out the old tree or leave it and put the new tree(s) in another place. You can prune the old tree quite heavily, if you want to save it; as long as the trunk is solid and healthy; it will grow new shoots. BTW, one of the reasons the oranges from the old tree taste so good is the age of the tree; the new grafted trees should produce fruit in a year or two and they will be "clones" of the existing tree. Be warned, though... fruits from the new trees may not taste as good for a few years.

Hobby, your limequat will put on some good growth now that he is in his own pot. He has more room to grow and will not have to compete for water and nutrients. You did a great job separating and potting up. Great deal.. Ubro, did your red navel come with that name? I believe you have a Cara Cara, as it is also referred to as Red Navel. I have one and it is a beautiful plant. It is blossoming for the first time. I can't wait to get fruit and have that first bite of juiciness run down my chin..I read it is delicious. . :) You have a nice list of citrus. The blooms smell is intoxicating. .
