Transplant Shock

I planted a Meyer lemon tree three weeks ago, and now the leaves are falling off. Is my tree in shock and should I pull the blossoms off? What can I do to save my tree?

The tree probably needs more water. Make sure you are watering every day until the is established. If you are already watering everyday, tamp the soil down around the roots. There may be an air pocket that is causing the roots to dry out.
