I have a few citrons growing of varying sizes, and one of them recently went through a complete leaf drop (the soil dried out for too long when the weather was warmer than expected) and I was left with literally a stick in the soil (I had assumed the roots were also damaged from drying out). I was pretty upset but I had some hope, and lo and behold after a few weeks of watering (sparingly, it used almost no water in its leafless state) 3 buds appeared and 2 are now extending and growing leaves
no pics but there isnt much to see at the moment , just imagine a stick with a few leaves on it

it also gives me hope that a trunk chop of my tallest citron might not be as dangerous (its between 4-5 feet tall but not as many leaves lower down - but I need some lower branching on it.) as I was thinking it might be
