Default sick looking lemons

I have a very full lemon tree with loads of fruit, but the they are being
eaten by something.

They appear to have snail like tracks on them & little brown marks but the
flesh inside is fine & not tainted at all, its just the skin.
What could it be & what is the remedy?


There are some species of very small snails that live among the
foliage. They are difficult to poison. Search among the leaves
to see whether you can find any.

If you don't get much advice, you could try ringing Don Burke. He has
a garden phone-in program on Sydney radio 2UE Saturday and Sunday
mornings, 6-8, Sydney time. You can get the phone number from the
2UE website. He takes calls from all states.
