A lemon leaf showing chlorosis around the veins. Symptoms normally appear early in the spring as chlorosis of the shoot and leaf vein. There is also epinasty, or bent out and downwards, of the young leaves in the spring. This is followed by wilt and die back of leaves, twigs and branches. [2] In most cases dieback is sectorial. [3]
Citrus canker bacteria can enter through a plant's stomata or through wounds on leaves or other green parts. In most cases, younger leaves are considered to be the most susceptible. Also, damage caused by citrus leaf miner larvae (Phyllocnistis citrella) can be sites for infection to occur. Within a controlled laboratory setting, symptoms can ...

Leaf symptoms are generally observed on highly susceptible citrus varieties, such as lemons, as well in poorly-managed orchards. The symptoms generally develop from latent infections after the leaves have died. Red-brown, pin-point dots may develop into larger, circular necrotic lesions with gray centers and red or brown margins. [18] [19]
In the fields of horticulture and botany, the term deciduous (/ d ɪ ˈ s ɪ dʒ u. ə s /) [1] [2] means "falling off at maturity" [3] and "tending to fall off", [4] in reference to trees and shrubs that seasonally shed leaves, usually in the autumn; to the shedding of petals, after flowering; and to the shedding of ripe fruit.
Annual autumn leaf drop in temperate zones is caused by the abscission of the mature leaves from the growth season in response to the approach of cold winter weather. Abscission (from Latin ab- 'away' and scindere 'to cut') is the shedding of various parts of an organism , such as a plant dropping a leaf , fruit , flower , or seed .
The blight spreads through an infected tree, invading and colonizing the plant's roots, leaves, and trunk. As of 2020, neither the causal agent nor the spreading mechanism of the disease is known. [2] Research by the Citrus Research and Development Foundation posits the blight is caused by an endogenous plant pararetrovirus (EPRV). [3]
The color varies from green, when unripe, to a yellow-orange when overripe. The citron does not fall off the tree and can reach 8–10 pounds (4–5 kg) if not picked before fully mature. [39] [12] However, they should be picked before the winter, as the branches might bend or break to the ground, and may cause numerous fungal diseases for the ...
