Re: Lemon Tree Wows

Hello @PhilSS 

 

It's concerning to see your lemon tree looking a bit under the weather! Based on the photo, it appears you might be dealing with citrus leaf miners, which is a common issue. Those squiggly lines are a tell-tale sign. Don't worry, it's treatable! I recommend using Yates Nature's Way Citrus & Ornamental Spray. It's a good option as it's designed to tackle leaf miners, plus other common citrus pests, and is suitable for organic gardening, which is important for fruit trees.  

 

To give your lemon tree a boost, I'd also recommend using Seasol.  It's a great tonic for plants, helping them to recover from stress and encouraging healthy growth, which is important in getting your tree back to its best. Remember to always read and follow the instructions on any product you purchase, and hopefully, with a little care, your lemon tree will be back to its healthy, productive self in no time!

 

My best advice is to make sure to spray under the leaves for full coverage.

 

Please make sure to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask when using plant sprays.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
