Well, first let's get some more info. You say it's not the same size- same as what- other orange trees in your yard?

If so examine them all and look for differences in soil, light exposure, grade, watering, etc.

The sick tree treatment works well on fruit trees, or just try Garrett Juice with potasium bicarbonate (or baking soda if it's not available) and some garlic tea.

I would carry out the sick tree treatment with a special eye on the steps regarding tree root ball depth and aerating the root zone.

Start treating the yard to organic fertilizer 2-3 times a year. Bet you see better results next time around.
