hi all,

I am in Brisbane, Qld, Australia. I have recently used a homemade recipe for
white oil and sprayed my 3 small (about 1m tall) citrus trees with it for
leaf-miner (I have since read that leaf-miners are generally dormant in
winter anyway, but oh well, not to worry). The ingredients where 1 cup
vegetable oil, 1.5 cups water and a teaspoon of dish-washing liquid.

Since spraying with the oil about 2 weeks ago, I have noticed a considerable
amount of leaves have fallen from the trees and some small shoots on the
tahitian lime have shrivelled and 'burnt' after the application of the
spray?!

Understandable I am quite worried and have given all 3 trees a big drink of
4-Vital and an Organic liquid fertiliser and a dressing of dynamic lifter.
Is this the best course of action now?

Has anyone heard of this leaf drop in conjunction with a white oil spray?
What more can I do for the trees?

Thanks,
Mick
