I planted a Meyer Lemon almost 2 years ago. It has some disease or something which I'd like to know definitely what it is and what I can do about it. From my research, I'm thinking it's leaf miner and if it is, my understanding is I can't do anything about it. I have been spraying the tree periodically with a copper fungicide and a good pest control spray, but this problem persists. I am attaching pictures of the leaves so you can see what it's doing to them. I'd really appreciate if someone would let me know what it is and how to treat it if I can. If I cannot, I will want to plant a new tree. If I have to do that, would it be ok to plant in the same place or does it have to be somewhere different? Thanks so much for the help!

Hi!, you definitely have leaf miners but I am worried about the curling leaves. You should contact your closest Agricultural Extension Office as your tree may have Greening.

Thanks Andrea. Hmmmm...so sounds like I might have 2 issues. I just looked up greening and there doesn't seem to be a cure for that either. I've contacted my local agricultural office, but haven't heard back and got a reply from them that it may be a while till I do, so I thought I might have better luck on here. Seems like I probably will have to destroy me tree Sad Do you know if I can plant a new one in the same place or is that not a good idea?
