I have a very old mandarin orange tree started from seed. I transplanted it awhile ago, and now it is losing all its leaves

It is about 5 feet tall when I replanted it. I used miracle grow soil and added bone meal. This tree is over 50 years old and was started by my late father.HELP!
Thanks in advance
