    If it was a baby-sized plant, it may be a goner. A bigger plant will probably have enough oomph to send up new shoots. Fertilize gently and give it time to recover from the cold shock.

    Branch dieback can be a sign of disease or environmental problems, or it can be normal as the tree grows. Please see these articles for more information:

    You can prune out the dead branches, but be sure to sterilize your tools with a 10% bleach solution after making the cuts to prevent spreading any possible disease organisms.

    If there are a lot of dead branches, check this article for diseases that match your tree's symptoms, especially in the "aboveground dieback" section.

    They will be susceptible to any citrus disease, unless the cultivar is, specifically bred to be resistant to it.

    Proper care will lessen the likelihood of contracting diseases.

    "Bush Doctor" indicated that "proper care" would lessen the chance of tree damage/death from Citrus Greening and other diseases
    What is "Proper care"?

    Thanks

    This can start to happen as the pH swings. I always recommend keeping iron sulfate, and dolomitic lime handy. Applying these once or twice per year will help keep the pH in check, and give it a little extra iron for the times that it will tend to swing upwards during heavy vegetative growth. This article will give you more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/calamondins/growing-calamondin-trees.htm

    These will be quite tolerant of most soil types. A good potting soil mixed with compost will do just fine. There are prepackaged compost that will give your tree plenty of nutrients. Just mix this in at 1 part compost, to three parts soil.

    They seem to be curling in response to stress. The first suspect will be a pH imbalance. This is very common. You can correct this by adding dolomitic lime and iron sulfate together.

    The next guess will be over or underwatering. Both can have the same symptoms. Only water when the top of the soil is almost completely dry. This will ensure that it receives the correct amount.

    Repotting may have stressed the tree.
