I finally got some pics of the citrus and uploaded to flickr.
You guys might be able to identify the species.
First up is the Grapefruit marsh
Next is the Tahitian Lime/Naval Orange
Mandarin, type unknown?
I'm guessing this is a lemon type unknown
Lemon or Lime? Don't know. Maybe an Orange?
So there you have it.
They still need some TLC and work to get them healthy your advice is appreciated.
Cheers
Rich

Excellent citrus. The unnamed mandarin looks like it may be some type of Clementine with the long thin leaves.

That could be it as the fruit last year were quite small.

Your citrus look fine but they need more water (the leaves curl like cigars) and more nitrogen ( the leaves are yellowish). |

I agree, Nitrogen and Iron probably. |

All trees have been fertilized with a citrus mix of granules and had iron with a little boron added to water to get that into the ground. Also some organic compost mixed into soil.
Also a copper/oil mix has been sprayed onto the leaves etc.
All this has been done recently so they will take some time to show it hopefully.
Time will tell as the trees have not been looked after at all until now.

As we are going into summer here, you are going into winter there so it may take some time.
