The berries in your photo look somewhat like Autumn Olive (Eleagnus umbellata), but the leaves not quite so much... more suggestive of the Ilex verticillata mentioned earlier, but the shady conditions may not be demonstrating the fairly prominent silvery undersides. If it is AO, the berries are pretty tasty when fully ripe; underripe, they're tarts and may still have some slight astringency. It's maligned as an invasive - and that may be the case - but the fruits are high in lycopene, and make a tasty jelly/jam. I've done some AO vodka infusions, and while they don't lend any red color to the end product, they do confer a nice flavor (and you can still use the vodka-infused fruit in smoothies 8>).

Thanks carol23, that's exactly it! I used to work in horticulture and landscaping and I thought it might be a euphorbia ( juice from plant can be irritatant?) but oddly enough I never planted it and there isn't any others on the property. And here's something funny - I checked out the link that you kindly posted, went out and yanked off a leaf(got milk!) and noticed about 4 or 5 new molehills close to the plants.LOL

Okay, the "white spot" is really a damaged area, most likely due to some sort of rasping bug, like a slug or snail. And, your new growth appears to be affected with Citrus Leafminer, a very common and annoying pest. You should treat your citrus with either a Spinosad + hort oil spray (leave off the hort oil if your outdoor temps exceed 85 degrees, as the oil can damage the leaves if it is too hot), or, you can do a soil drench with Imidicloprid (Bayer Fruit & Vegetable Insect Control). You can search this forum for "CLM" or "Citrus Leafminer" and find quite a few threads on this topic. If you opt for a soil drench, you need to apply at least 2 weeks prior to CLM appearing in your area, to allow it time to get up to the youngest leaves. Controlling CLM is all about getting the treatment on or in the tree PRIOR to the little moth laying their eggs on the underside of the leaf, and then the hatching larvae burying into the leaves, and tunneling through the leaf, to eventually emerge and fly off as a teeny tiny moth. Stop misting your tree. Citrus do not need to be misted, I am not sure how this idea gets circulated. They do just fine in very dry climates, such as mine, in the ground. Your potting medium is much too heavy, and will retain way too much water. Search this forum for "511" mix for a great homemade recipe for container citrus. Re-pot. Rain water, especially during a thunderstorm is great for citrus, as the rainwater during a thunderstorm is full of Nitrogen. Fertilize with every watering. Most container citrus folks on this forum prefer to use DynaGro's Foliage Pro. It's a great liquid fertilizer with the perfect NPK ratio, and all the micronutrients that a citrus tree needs. We also supplement with a slow release product such as Osmocote Plus (also formulated appropriately and with a full compliment of micros). And, to post multiple photos in one message, simply upload your photos to a photo sharing site such as photobucket.com. Copy the HTML code (ignore all the other possible code strings, just copy the HTML code), and paste that code string right into your message. You can do this as many times as you like. When you click "Preview Message", you should see your photos embedded right into your message. If you do NOT see the photos, but a code string, you've copied the wrong code string. Patty S.

You nailed it on the head Jean001! Glysophate poisoning from Roundup 'drift' from a neighbouring soybean field. The problem is I can't get mad at the culprit because that person would be...me. I'm actually surprised because I stood there while the sprayer went by and you can see the line in the soybean field where he left a buffer for my garden, as the beans are swallowed by the weeds, and the breeze was going in the 'right' direction, but I guess not a big enough buffer. I have since learned that it takes only 5% of the normal amount of glysophate applied to a tomato plant to kill it, so this goes out as a warning to all of those using Roundup--steering clear is not enough. Some may pull through this but ther are a few that have bit the dust. Thanks again Jean001. ewegrow
