Hi there I have a Kaffir tree at home in the garden and I noticed there are new leaves growing out and they are dark brown colour. Is it normal? I had the Kaffir tree for about 12-18 months. Your advice would be appreciated.

They are all curly, too. Check your growing conditions with this article below. Make sure the container has several holes and has well draining soil. Too much water can have this effect. Also check the leaves for aphids or scale insects. Curling leaves can also indicate a fungal infection. Here is info about treating with a fungicide.
