        <![CDATA[ Hi,I planted an orange tree last year next to a lemon tree.The orange tree has gradually lost most of its leaves after turning a pale green.It is however in bloom with a continual stream of ants climbing the trunk to the blooms.The lemon tree is 2 yards away, in full bloom and showing lots of new leaf growth.Any ideas on how to irradicate the ants?Will the tree reproduce leaves? ]]>
