Hi there... when did you last prune?? Often people dont think they need pruning but they do, and if it dies what have you lost?
I feed mine twice a year, its in full sun.If you get sooty mould this can stop fruit forming, spray with soapy water.
One of the things also is they dont like their roots disturbed and they are a shallow rooted tree, so be careful when weeding underneath them...if you mulch then not up to the trunk..it causes rot.
Hope any of these help :)
