Q.My New Orange Tree Isn’t Growing OR Dying?
I was gifted an orange tree and since transplanting it from pot to my garden soil about 4 months ago it has shown no signs of new growth nor has it started to die. It has literally not changed since planting. It was only a new tree when I got it (I estimate 2-3 years old and not bearing fruit). I used a specific citrus soil when I planted it and watered it well without overwatering. What’s happening here? I’d love for it to grow or even show one new shoot!

Hm... Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see any clues as to why this may be happening. I would keep a very close eye on watering, as overdrying and overwatering, or improper watering can be the cause of a slow tree.
