Meyer Lemon Fruit Scab and Leaf Issues: Blight and Aphids

Two Problems on Productive Texas Tree

An 8-year-old Meyer lemon has scabby fruit spots (cosmetic only) and curling leaves with transparent film.

Fruit scab – Citrus blight; treat with broad-spectrum fungicide spring through growing season
Leaf curling/film – Aphid honeydew; control with horticultural oil

Both issues manageable; tree worth preserving.
