Lemon tree leaves curled.
 
Hi,

My location is Southern, CA zones 9-10. I have a lemon tree who's leaves are
curled upwards. Is this a sign of something?

Curled leaves on citrus often indicates spider mites, which can
defoliate a tree. They are too small to see without a magnifying
glass. The best treatment is malthion; add some liquid soap as a
wetting agent.
