Hey Guys
I've noticed some deformed leaves on a couple of my eucalypts... think it may be a fungus so gave them all a treatment with eco-fungicide. Some leaves have small holes in them and others develop rounded saw tooth edges to them and curl. Example of both on the same leaf in the photos. Am I on the right track with a fungus?
Also some leaves on a willow leaf have developed this lateral curling/hooking but without holes.... could this be a natural variation or the same or different disease?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers
Sim

Re: Deformed leaves on eucalypt and willow leaf
Hey Sim
Do you see this after the leaves have developed but before they have hardened? I ask because I've seen similar symptoms on Eucs and other species and have always put it down to some sort of bug having a little chew while the buds are developing. A small chew while the leaf is developing could develop into leaf deformation once they have grown to full size.

Re: Deformed leaves on eucalypt and willow leaf
Yeah I’ve had what looks like that. But I’m sure there are numerous things that can cause it.
I sprayed a couple of times with confidor every 2-3 days, and eventullay fhe new growth was all good.

Re: Deformed leaves on eucalypt and willow leaf
Thanks guys... Dansai I had a bit of a look and some of the very new leaves on some of the eucalypts have holes and have had a bit of a chew so I think you may be on the right track
Rory, thanks for the advice... I think I'll have to go and get some confidor or some pest oil.
Thankyou both for the replies!
