    The broad leaf plant appears to be a type of citrus, but would be hard to identify without a fruit. The other one will be very hard to identify without flowers fruit or any other things that would help. This resembles many plants and trees.

    This could be leaf curl from pests or disease.

    No negative issues that I am aware of with using fabric containers. Just use a good planting soil and order some of this excellent complete organic fertilizer to mix into your container soil. Replenish when you transplant into the wine barrels.

    With no photos or description of the site, growing conditions, watering and fertilization, we have to guess.

    If you have grass around a citrus tree then it is not "something" killing it but "someone" who wasn't aware of basic conditions for citrus trees, and it is they who have killed it.

    Citrus are susceptible to "crown rot" Phytophthora cinnamomi, a fungus-like pathogen, due to over watering. The frequent watering that grass takes to keep it alive is too much for the citrus.

    If the grass is dying, then the other common reason for decline is water deficit. Drying and wilting and browning occurs with drought stress.

    It will not be the same as grafting. They will fight for water and food, that is why they are entangled. There will be no odd results.

    Hi Victoria; The pattern of discoloration on the leaves in the photos are characteristic of a nutrient deficiency, but I recommend that you don't try to address it with guesswork and individual nutrient products. BTW epsome salts is Magnesium sulfate, magnesium and sulfur, not Calcium. Lime or gypsum supply Calcium.

    For fertilization, it's better to use a complete, mineralized, slow release organic fertilizer.

    Since arid zone soils tend to be alkaline, I would mulch with a material like this:

    And then follow up with a fertilizer like this, or a citrus specific fertilizer:

    I can't think of a citrus fruit with only four sections.
    Please post photos of the fruit and of the tree and we will try to identify.
