I live by the beach and have recently planted a beautiful garden on my balcony. I have Kaffir Lime and Cumquats in large pots. They receive the morning to midday sun and have been thriving for the past month or so.

Recently, we have had a lot of rain and storm activity. The citrus have now dropped all of their leaves. They haven't turned black or shrivelled, the leaves have just dropped. When I touch them or shake them gently the leaves fall off!!!

I have really become attached to my plants and I would like to know if there is anything I can do to save them?

The leaves taste very salty. Is there a chance that the salty air has effected them? How can I help them to recover.

Thanks so much for your help
