Orange & grapefruit trees dying too. Ore Negro Avocado 2nd yr, at least got 3 fruit. Ideas?

if you could get some pictures of the plants as well as the soil but I doubt it is the soil I know the soil in and around that area very well I lived in el jellybean for 25 years as us locals call it aka el jobean and my grand parents lived in boca grande for 75 years. hope you get in some fishing in while your down for the winter. God has blessed them waters with some beautiful snooks and reds and snapper. About the time you leave to go back up north is the same time it's getting hot and very dry sometimes the rainy season don't always kick in on time and waits till the 3rd or 4th week of June to get going good therefore you plant could be dying from to much stress or lack of water. I would love to help you but to be honest without some more proof of details kinda just a guessing game as to what is going on there with your plants.............please keep us updated and if we can't help you can call your local extension office @(941) 861-9900 and they would be more than happy to help you isolate your problem always free of charge...
