sick looking lemons
13th Aug 08
Hi All 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? thanks Sandra |

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. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |
