Tree disease (on lime tree).

19 years ago

I'm going to try to get a picture tonight, to get a much better reading on this, but wanted to start the ball rolling to see if anyone has an idea:

i've got a lime tree in the backyard, not sure of the exact type, but pretty typical size lime (not the small key-lime), with thorns that are ~1" long.

the tree was topped late last year due to excessive growth, and this spring, it started sprouting like mad. the new growth looked healthy, until recently.

the latest new growth's leaves are "wrinkled", and have a plastic-ish clear coat on it (like someone sprayed clear varnish on each leaf, and it started peeling off from heal). it almost looks like there's bug tracks between that clear coat, and the leaf, but i haven't really seen any bugs.

i'm going to take some cuttings to my local nursery this weekend, but hoping to get some feedback on what it may be.

thanks,

Jeff
