my lime tree branches are being eaten by something– chewed off.

Question

My lime tree branches are slowly being eaten — they are perfectly being cut off.

Answer 1

Hm... If this is a perfect cut, then I would suspect foul play. Insects and animals will not leave straight lines as a knife or cutting utensil will.

Unless you catch what is responsible, or see signs of it, it will be very hard to say what is getting at your tree.
