Leaves are a trailing indicator, meaning that they follow the event, and show you what was happening in the past. What a leaf shows, depends on the season: If in winter, or cooler weather when leaf emergence is minimal it might indicate something that happened weeks ago. When leaf emergence is rapid, it more likely indicates what happened a week or so ago. In some varieties (which depends on the manner in which the leaves emerge) the current leaf need to unfurl before the next leaf can properly emerge. Over fertilizing can accelerate the rate of leaf emergence, which means that when a new leaf attempts to emerge before the previous leaf is unfurled it gets tangled in the previous leaf which can distort or tear either leaf. Back off the fertilizer for a little while, util normal emergence is seen, and then begin fertilizing again at a smaller amount, but keep the frequency. A little more often is better than a lot less frequently.
