my kumquat tree leaves are going brown ..help (forum)

Jule's starts with ...
Can anyone help. I noticed today my kumquat trees that line my driveway, the leaves are going brown. what can i do as i do no want to lose them. I have researched and it could be white fly, but the white oil spray is not to be used in winter. Any help would really be appreciated.

You can use White oil in winter (according to the Yates website for one).
Have you had a good close look at the leaves?

Hi Pauline, yes had a good look and seems to be no sign of aphids/fly etc. There are large patches of just brown dying leafs. To be honest my first thought when I saw them was someone has sprayed them with something. However I honestly find it hard to believe that someone would do that and as far as I know we have given no reason for thar to ever happen. Thanks for the info on the white oil. I will take some photos and see if I can upload them. thanks for your help Julie
