Sick lemon tree

Geoff from Island Bay

Our lemon tree has had a hard life. It has been moved several times. But for the last 15 years it has produced many many juicy flavoursome lemons. This year I noticed the fruit was taking a long time to ripen and are smaller than usual. Now I see most of the bark is stripped off from the ground up… View moreOur lemon tree has had a hard life. It has been moved several times. But for the last 15 years it has produced many many juicy flavoursome lemons. This year I noticed the fruit was taking a long time to ripen and are smaller than usual. Now I see most of the bark is stripped off from the ground up for about 6 inches. Any clues on what we can do to save it. It looks tragic! See pic attached
Thanks in advance
