Hi, Friends. Me, again. Y’all were helpful in identifying thrips on my orange tree. However, it seems my tree is sickly. I’m wondering if I should remove it. I have two other orange trees nearby (pic for reference) and don’t want whatever is afflicting this one tree to spread. I spray Jacks insecticidal soap religiously, but doesn’t seem to be helping. I saw these bugs on leaves that you see in pics. The tree is just over a year old. It was doing great. Now not so much. I’m in San Antonio, zone 8b. Since it’s young I can remove the whole roots. If I do that can I replant another one and the same spot? If so, what precautions should I take? Thanks for all y’all’s help.

Hi, guys. First time citrus gardner. Just confirming my improved Meyer lemons are ok. Virtually overnight baby lemons went from a very dark green to this color. I’ve been struggling to keep my blooms.
