It may be citrus leaf miner. If the curled leaves have silver/grey
trails underneath then this will be the cause. There is no cure but
white oil can prevent it. I made my own using equal parts vegetable
oil and water with a dash of detergent. Spray this on new foliage. It
worked for my lemon tree in a pot but it's since kicked up its heels
as I can't water it enough in Brisbane :(
