cupped leaves on Citrus trees


Question
Hello,

I live in Brooklyn, NY and have a variety of citrus trees,(Meyer, Palestine limes, grapefruit and some more).  All the plants are potted and are in full sun,they all range from  2-3 yrs old, and are next to each other. About 2 weeks ago all the leaves on all the citrus trees started to cup and discolor. I've sprayed Bon-neem but nothing works.I've checked all around the trees and cannot find any insects.

Thanks

Hi Marina,  You have citrus leaf minor and if you look under the leaf you will see what is called railroad tracks of the moth that lays her eggs under the leaf.  The do this when the weather gets hot and they go away with the cold.  Try Atomic Grow and you will see a difference in your citrus and any other plant you use it on.  A healthy solution to your problem.  kathy
