    So the Key lime tree that was giving me trouble (i.e. dying) has rebounded and seemed to be growing well, and showing new growth. However, over the past couple of weeks, I have noticed that the leaves are starting to curl up on themselves. The tree is in a spot where it is given water regularly by the Lawn Sprinklers, and the tree does not seem to be suffering from the high temps we have been haveing (over 100 F). However, the new leaves are turning in on themselves.

    I don't see any fungus or other pathogens. Here are some rather large pictures if you want to take a look.

    I don't know how good the last one is, but you can see two small dark circles on the bottom of the leaf, if that is any indication. I have not sprayed anything on the plant in over 6 months.

    Any suggestions as to how to help it will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,
