Hi my orange tree is got something wrong with it the fruit for one the oranges keep falling off before it fully ripens and each orange keeps getting a big round type of hard spot on them, I did notice some of the branches died and had some type of scale on them but not all branches just a few and I cut them off, so I got a picture of the orange with the spot on it in hopes someone can tell me what it is and if its treatable, Thanks in advance. BTW this orange didn't fall off the tree I picked it almost ripe but many of the oranges produce the same type hard spot.
Sequoiadendron4 for some reason I cant reply but yes they start ripening about this time for that tree anyways, we are in mid Florida but also I noticed some black spots on some of the leaves i'm mostly hoping it isn't canker and can be treated.

Need help with my orange tree
The picture quality is poor and it's hard to tell what's going on there. I thought most citrus ripened in December/January? My parents have citrus in Arizona and I'm pretty sure that's when theirs ripen. Do they ripen this time of year normally where you live? In the oranges that have fallen off, have you tried cutting them open to inspect for insects or worms? Is there any damage to the tree, like a canker? Have there been any adverse conditions this growing season like drought, construction within the root base? Is there any citrus nearby also exhibiting similar problems? Just a few questions for you. Also, if you have any clearer pics, that would be helpful.
