Citrus Tree Shriveled Leaves Sun City AZ. 480 969-8808 Warner's Tree Surgery 5/8/2019 The Asian Citrus Leaf Miner:
Arriving here in 2011 and breeding up to 15 times a year, the Asian Citrus Leaf Miner was in every citrus tree I looked at for several years. The population grew unchecked well into the summer of 2015, and it is only now, in 2016, that I have to look a little to find them. So for at least 4 years, the leaves on your citrus trees have been producing far less energy than normal. Because of this the reserve cells are dangerously low. Biologically speaking, your citrus trees have run out of gas.
When reserves are low a citrus tree is more vulnerable to insect damage, soil fungus, frost damage, heat stress, sunburn, and water stress. Plus they can't defend themselves against other insects very well. This has caused the other insect population to grow, which has accelerated the depletion of stored energy.
For more on the science of stored energy in reserve cells see
If that wasn't bad enough at least three spices of whiteflies that damage or kill citrus trees are now in the valley. Please watch the video at
What to do:
If you live in Maricopa County AZ, call us at 480 969-8808 and make an appointment to have us out to look at your trees so we can evaluate your trees and teach you how to correct anything that wrong. Have us inject your trees with liquid elements that will jump start energy production, strengthen the roots, and protect them from fungus. These injections go directly into the trunk and are quickly taken to the leaves and roots.
If you are out of our area go to I have put information on this site that will help you to identify most of the diseases that plague citrus trees worldwide.
