Re: Someting wrong with my fruit tree
leaf miners are inside the leaves and you must use a SYSTEMIC insecticide to combat them one they are IN.
Imidacloprid is the active ingredient in Bayer Tree and Shrub, that is probably the most concentrated version @ Home Depot. (edit just looked and BTS has 6X Bayer Garden blue bottle)
I prefer Dimethoate on non bearing trees, and Imidacloprid on bearing due to a perceived change in fruit taste by Dimethoate.
info on citrus pests, leafminer down 1/3 of the way
ENY-734/IN686: 2012 Florida Citrus Pest Management Guide: Asian Citrus Psyllid and Citrus Leafminer
good luck
