Lemon Tree leaves fading (turning white) (forum)

George starts with ...
Hi,

A month ago I bought a dwarf eureka lemon tree and planted it in a terracotta pot. Recently, the colour of a few leaves have started to get a faded look and gradually turn white. Some of the leaves are also curling and turning brown. What could be causing the problem? I can't see any insects on the tree

Thanks

If it is grafted onto Flying dragon this could be a problem as the Eureka lemon is not compatible with either Trifoliata or Flying Dragon which is a sport of Trifoliata. Flying dragon is the dwarfing rootstock that we use here to graft oranges, mandarins, grapefruit, etc. But the only dwarf lemon we produce is the Meyer as this is compatible with the Flying dragon.
