Q.Lemon tree

Zone Johannesburg South Africa | Jenny wertheimer added on December 21, 2017 | Answered

My lemon tree and my ornamental orange tree both have bumpy leaves – like little lumps growing from inside.
What is the cause of this as I have sprayed with oleum about 4 weeks ago but it does not seem to have helped yet.

Thank you

Kind regards
Jenny
