    Do be a bit wary of standing a citrus tree in or on anything that impedes good drainage. The quickest way to kill off citrus is to leave the pot in standing water :) If it's possible to put the tree outside somewhere sheltered, cooler temperatures and natural humidity will help to control pests too.

    In addition to the advice already given, what kind of tree is it, and when you say 'small' what do you mean? Approx size in feet/metres will help :)It's hard to give truly appropriate advice without seeing it properly - ie a photo. It may well be fine if it's staked/supported as @flounder suggests.

    Pear tree disease

    I'll go back and check, but I think it's best to get rid anyway. My client has packed too many things in while I wasn't looking and I'd be quite happy to get rid. Thank you.

    What happened to this?

    Could the birds be attracted to worms boring into the tree. My neighbours have a half dead tree and occasionally I see wood peckers drilling into it to get at the insects in the dead wood.
