What's wrong with my citrus trees?

[nickpachter]

Hi, my citrus trees were only planted last April, so less than 1 year old. Since December the leaves have started to curl and become yellow with brown patches. On some leaves I can see curly white patterns. Is this a bug? Who do I fix the problem?

Hello @nickpachter 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your citrus tree. 

I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - Citrus tree curling leaves by @diy_hausdesigns. The last picture you posted has the unmistakable tracks of a citrus leaf miner. I suggest using Yates 750ml Ready To Use Pest Oil both over and under the leaves.

Here is a link to our best advice: What do you do about citrus leaves curling?

Please remember to wear personal protection such as appropriate clothing, gloves, goggles and a mask when spraying your plants. Please make sure to follow all the safety guidelines printed at the back of the bottle.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
