I regularly spray my citrus foliage (monthly) whether I see problems or not – it's a preventative spray - and I don't have many problems with leafminer.<br />Secondly, fertilising in late winter and early summer strengthens foliage and helps make it a bit more resistant to attack by leafminer.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-35621639922634435952011-04-04T21:53:08.270+10:002011-04-04T21:53:08.270+10:00This is very interesting and such a nice informati...This is very interesting and such a nice information ..<br />Thanks for sharing ..wholesale nurseryhttp://walkernurseryco.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-56136441360406007872011-04-04T12:29:33.219+10:002011-04-04T12:29:33.219+10:00This may be a plant that goes in the sunroom!This may be a plant that goes in the sunroom!The Sage Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252906325012065829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-86729251002000893782011-04-04T12:14:07.535+10:002011-04-04T12:14:07.535+10:00I planted a kaffir lime just last year.

No-one likes leaf miner in their curry, so I had to trim off all of that round of foliage.<br /><br />I also have a brown turkey fig tree, their fruits can get very big! Be prepared to share with the possums, fruit bats and lorikeets!Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404042957971464375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-80018053775280397872011-04-04T00:30:04.949+10:002011-04-04T00:30:04.949+10:00New to me - and interesting to see.
