Planted 2 months ago and leaves are drooping.
This certainly can be plant shock but also make sure you are watering well.
A new planting needs daily water; especially during hot weather, for the first 3 months. Try adding a good layer of mulch around the plant base to help with moisture retention and keep the roots cool.

I bought a plum tree sapling from Tesco’s a few years ago, put it in a tub and finally planted it out 2 years ago. Even from an early ‘age’ it sprouted a different branch from it’s trunk base, which I kept pruning off. It now has 3 branches of, what I identified as, common lime growing out of it’s trunk base. Why would have caused this please? Thank you in anticiaption
Please include photos. This is quite impossible.
There are one of two possible explanations:
The first is that the tree was mislabeled. It is possible that the tree is a citrus that was labeled as a plum.
The second is that the fruit is actually a plum relative that resembles a lime. Cutting the fruit open will reveal, either a pit, or where a pit should be for a Prunus species.
The leaves, when crushed, will give you your answer. When crushed, it should smell VERY STRONGLY of lime if it is a lime, or like plant if it is a plum.
Hi My lime tree appears dead. There are no new buds and no leaves at all. Many of the branches I think are dead. The trunk of the tree is still green!, should I cut off what I think is dead and pot it up in citrus soil and hope for the best? The tree was a gift of £80 I really love it and I went it to live
Citrus need full sun. If this is indoors, then it will need at least 200 watts of horticultural grade lighting to thrive. Feeding in container will consist of citrus fertilizer, dolomitic lime, and iron sulfate 2 or 3 times per year.

I live in Houston Tx, my lime tree is loaded with limes for the first time, but have a thick rind and very bitter (doesn’t smell like a lime). Is it to late to add the nitrogen or phosphorus? Or is it possible to add the nitrogen and phosphorus next year just before foliage begins to flower, to have a good crop? And which of the nitrogen and phosphorus is best for this region?
This is generally caused by a nutrient imbalance.

So my nearly one year old lime tree has just been growing more and more branches, which keep getting longer and longer - so much so that some of its really long branches are beginning to arc and over the past three months, I've noticed that 2 branches have split (with one of those two completely breaking off after a while). I tried loosely tying the trunk to a stake in the middle since I wanted it to grow straight, but I don't think it did much. Should I be taping/tying these branches back together or should I prune the lime tree at this stage so it doesn't grow all wacky and out of control? Or is there something else I should be doing to this lime tree? Below are some pictures of the lime tree as a whole, its arcs, and its branch splits.
This looks quite normal for a vigorous tree. You may prune at any time, since it also looks quite young. It isn't completely necessary, but can help with the shape.

I live in NE Florida and bought a house with a badly neglected lime tree. It has white spots on its trunks and branches,some of its leaves are curling or deformed and other leaves have yellow spots. See photos. What's wrong with my tree?
Here are some possibilities for the leaf curl and general care of lime trees.

My lime tree branches are slowly being eaten -- they are perfectly being cut off.
Hm... If this is a perfect cut, then I would suspect foul play. Insects and animals will not leave straight lines as a knife or cutting utensil will.
Unless you catch what is responsible, or see signs of it, it will be very hard to say what is getting at your tree.
Here is an article that will help you with their care, though: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/lime/lime-tree-tips-care-of-lime-trees.htm
