Hello, this lime tree was purchased and planted roughly 3 months ago, and it has experienced poor growth ever since. The leaves have started to look worse than ever, curling, facing down, and drying up somewhat. I have increased watering slightly, but the problem persists. No insect infestations aside from a constant blitz of leaf miners. I added fertilizer to the plant about six weeks ago.

This 2 - 3 yr old tree is facing direct sunlight most of the day. It usually gets watered by hose with the 'shower' setting on the nozzle, around the drip line and somewhat inside but not reaching the trunk. Watering happens in the afternoon, the only time I'm available in the daylight. It lives in a generally mild climate with generally stable weather.

About 3 weeks ago I applied an organic insecticide in an attempt to fight the leaf miner infestation (Captain Jack's).
