I do know that fukien teas will drop their leaves if the roots get too dry. I have not had great success with them myself due to mites, but I would think that a good soaking is at least worth a try. It might take some time for the new leaves to bud out but, what the heck. You said this is a 7 yr. old tree. Have you had it that long and what is your secret to keeping it free of mites/ mealy bugs?
