The new leaves on my citrus tree are all twisted and curled. There are some wavy silver lines running through them. Should I use Leaf Curl Copper Fungicide?

Answer: No, this problem is caused by Citrus Leaf miner, an insect pest that mines its way through leaf tissue. Control by spraying regularly with a weak solution of PestOil or Yates White Oil, applied according to directions.

    My problem is leaf curl on my peach & nectarine dwarf trees. They already have fruit so I know I cannot spray now. So how do I control the fungal disease - do I simply just pick the affected leaves off? Thank you.

    Ah! This seems to be the answer to the question I have only just submitted. I will put Pest Oil down on my shopping list!

    Would the hundreds of tiny bugs on the back of my curled citrus leaves be the offspring of the leaf miner?

    I have recently pruned my lime tree and it is shooting new growth. Is there anything I should use to keep them free of pests early in the peace??

    I live in the western suburbs of Adelaide (near the airport). Is it too late to prune my Moore Park Apricot Tree ?? It is usually bud burst around 11th Sept. I mainly want to prune of dead wood, thin it a bit and reduce the height a couple of feet. The tree is approx 35 years old, and despite spraying with fungicide the trunk appears to have a fungus. The outer layer of wood is falling off in long strips which has been happening for about 5 - 6 years. Last year I thought I might not get any fruit on it but I got a lot and gave away the surplus.

    Just started growing dwarf citrus trees Lemonade and Orange trees, my Orange tree planted a few days ago now has a few curled up leaves, a couple of half eaten leaves and some leaves are covered in a fine white material (like it has been lightly spray painted) what should I use - White Oil or Pyrethrum sprays?

    I have a fruit salad tree (has 5 different stone fruits grafted on the one tree) with leaf curl. The problem is its got fruit on it... What can I do when it has fruit??? Should I break off all of the curly leaves at least or leave them there?
