    You will need to clone the tree. Taking several tip cuttings and rooting them with a rooting compound will ensure that you get at least one rooted tree clone. Many clone attempts will fail, so you will want to take as many as you can in order to make sure you get one tree.

    Now, if you want an exact replica of your tree, you will need to find out what the graft stock was (most likely flying dragon trifoliate orange) since this attributes to the size of the tree, the vigorous growth, and a very small portion of taste. Otherwise, just a regular rooted tip cutting will give you an almost exact replica of your tree except for its size. It will likely be much taller since it does not have the dwarfed rootstock.

    Nitrogen is only one mineral nutrient among many that are required for good plant health and building of resistance to pests and diseases. I don't know what country you are in, but try to find a complete organcic fertilizer, formulated for citrus.

    Citrus are subject to pest infestations and fungal infections; you should adopt a preventive program instead of waiting for an advanced condition to develop. Spray every two weeks with neem oil like this:

    Orange leaves are listed as non toxic to humans. If you are comfortable with your own tree leaves that they have not been sprayed with any insecticide, pesticide or fungicide you can use them.

    This is not necessary. It will callous and protect itself. You can wipe the area with peroxide if you want to be sure that it is protected from infection. These will usually recover with relative ease. This article will give you more information on the care of oranges: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/oranges/growing-an-orange-tree.htm
