My Washington orange has been in the ground for 10-12 weeks. I purchased it at Costco for $10. Soon after putting it in the ground I got a nice spurt of new growth. Now I'm seeing some of the leaves kind of shrivel up and other leaves get kind of spotty. I don't see any pest infestation, but then I'm real new to the citrus world. This tree is twelve feet away from my Bearss lime which I'm treating for a magnesium deficiency. Any advice is much appreciated. Also, if someone can tell me how to make an image appear in the post, and not just the URL, I'd appreciate that too.

There is nothing to worry about concerning the "shrivel up" (crinkled) leaves, it is genetic, and will pass as your tree get older. Otherwise the tree looks to be quite healthy.- Millet (878-)

Thanks Millet, that's really good to hear. I've come to really care about my little orchard. I don't know what I'd do without this forum, it's really nice to be able to get expert opinions. Thanks.
