I, too, have been using Epsom salts with container citrus (mandarins)
and adding the magnesium produces a visible difference in the health, as
well as the fruit set (very big difference) of the trees. My trees are
about 7 years old and thriving!

My container citrus perked up and started acting happy when I began
adding a tablespoon per gallon of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) to
their regular fertilizer regimen. The orchard citrus perked up too.
None of the fertilizers I had been using contained any significant
amount of magnesium.
