Angry curling leaf edges

Help! My Saba's are having trouble unfurling their leaves Once they leave the psuedo stem they don't open all the way. I'm on the second or third set of leaves that do this on my two Saba plants and am not quite sure what to do? They are about six to eight feet tall. I have many, many other types but this unfurling problem is only afflicting the Saba's. ???

I have seen this happen in conjunction with a calcium and/or boron deficiency.

based on not too many responces I'm going to give a dose of finely ground egg shells (calcium) and a good dose of boron rich fertilizer (as Scot mentioned) to see if that helps unfurl future leaves. If not, I'm hoping our rainy season will 'straighten' things out. If anyone has any other input or feedback I welcome all comments. Eric
