I've just been told that the curled under leaves on my italian

Is the diagnosis likely to be accurate? Location is Seattle.


I don't know about leaves curling, I thought magnesium
deficiency cause leaf yellowing especially in older leaves.
Can you provide a photo?

Photo here (I hope)

I got a login screen and I don't have an account.

It's the first time I tried it. I'll try to figure out the problem.

Just change the privacy settings for the photo.

OK - settings changed. Can anyone see it now?

Yes. Have you ruled-out aphids and whiteflies, etc.?

This tree usually have lots of aphids. There were none this year, which
surprised me. It was the first thing I looked for. I didn't see any bugs on the
leaves.
