    Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do other than maybe trying to flush out the area with water, including your shrubs. Run water over them to remove any residue that may be on them and the surrounding area. As long as the stems are still alive, then they should eventually regrow their leaves.

    Yes, trim away the dead material and treat with Neem Oil. Destroy the material, do not compost.

    Yes, it could be the results of salts building up in the soil.

    A soil test is the best way to determine if this is happening.

    Orange trees planted in the ground will need 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water per week.
    If this a newly planted tree you may need to increase this amount.

    If this is a potted citrus tree, daily water is generally needed and if temperatures are above 85 degrees you may need to water twice a day.

    I am listing some articles to refresh you on the care requirements.

    As long as the stems are still green, the shrubs are still alive. It could be that they are simply slow to start new growth due to having a bit of shock, which is causing them stress. Normally, this rights itself given some time while the roots establish. All you can really do is ensure they are receiving adequate water (and good drainage) and double check their growing conditions to make sure they are receiving appropriate light.

    I would give them more time to acclimate to their new surroundings.

    There could be a few different issues.
    Here is a link that will help you pinpoint the cause and possible solutions.

    The fact that multiple trees are infected is concerning and you may want to consult a professional arborist.
