Have a tangelo tree about 1 year old. The leaves are turning yellowish.
This could be a nutrient deficiency, a stress response, or potentially a disease or insect. These articles will help you:

I have 2 tangelo trees that I grew from seed 6 years ago. I have lived in NC and IN since. I have them in large pots and keep them inside during the winter. Every year they get new growth but have never produced flowers/ fruit. I just moved to GA a month ago and they are loving the weather. Why haven't they had blossoms?
This could be a fertilization problem: if the nitrogen supply is too high or the phosphorus supply is too low in their soil, citrus trees will not flower. It could also be a pruning problem.
These articles are about oranges but are relevant to all citrus trees:

I have two orange trees. Last year the larger one was loaded with fruit and has been every year but this year. There are few fruits on either tree. Last year my smaller orange tree hardly produced, and now both are hardly producing. Is there something wrong with the trees and is there something I should be doing? This is in Chandler, Arizona.
One possibility is that some varieties will bear in alternate years, with a heavy crop in one year and a ligt crop in the next year. Cold temperatures that kill blossoms, insufficient fertilizer, and watering problems can all cause poor fruit production.

I have a great producing Tangelo tree. This year I noticed some fruit on the ground and still hanging in the tree but hollowed out leaving just the skin. Would it be rats, opossum??
You'll have to look up the nocturnal beasts in your area. Where I live in Michigan, prime suspects are opossums and raccoons. Skunks don't climb trees but will eat fruit that has fallen.
HI, Can you plant two tangelos near each other and get fruit or does it have to be another variety of orange to get fruit? Thanks, Laura
They are, likely, self fertile. Just having another tree around will increase pollination. They will be able to pollinate with each other if you plant the same trees.
How long does it take a tangelo tree to bare edible fruit after flowering? We live in central Florida.
Once you see flowering, it is an early sign that fruit will soon follow. This could be 1 to 3 years, but it is usually fairly soon after the first flowers.
You can give it a boost by giving it a citrus fertilizer. This will give it the nutrients that it needs to properly produce fruit.

It is May 1st, inland San Diego Co. and so far foliage has fully leafed out, but no blooms. The tree is over 50 years old and produced good fruit last year. It has been neglected for many years other than occasional summer watering that has kept it alive. Last year it was regularly watered and we received over 18" of rain in 2019/20. The tree had some curling and blackening of the leaf edges last year. Almost all of the fruit has been picked so far this year.. Should we expect blooms later, or is this an off year? Or other explanation. Also, how long do these trees live? Thank you.
Generally, 40 or 50 years will be expected. They tend to decline, suddenly, seemingly. It will be time to look into replacing the tree.
