Help With Potted Grapefruit

A
last year

Hi all,


I need some advice on how to help my potted grapefruit. I've had this guy for about 12 years now, and towards the end of the winter it started to look a bit stressed in the house.


I pruned it back (so it would fit out the door) and eased it into full sun, but no improvement. Since I had never root pruned it and wondered if that might be why, I took it out of the pot and pruned off the bottom 2-3 inches of the root ball. Still no improvement. It's not getting too much worse (or at least it's not getting worse very fast), but not getting any better.


I've continued with my usual watering, and have hit it with some fertilizer in hopes of spuring some new growth (usually works) - but nothing.


Any advice on how to help this guy out? I'd hate to lose it after having had it for so long.


Thank you!
