Hi,
I bought a clementine tree with curled up leaves thinking it hadn't been watered enough. I checked and there are no parasites or small little insects on my tree. However after 10 days of thourough watering so that the core of the sod gets humid (The soil in which it is actually potted is quite dense.), the leaves are still curled up...
When i bought it, the shop told me not to repot it before march (i live in the south of france). Shall i repot it now ?
Will the leaves go back to their original shape, or will it stay like this ?
Thanks a lot for your help and guidance

I would repot it now and trim pot bound roots

Ok ! One clementine is growing on one of the branches, will repotting and triming the roots affect its developpement ? if possible i'd like to have at least one fruit this season ;)
thanks again for your help !

If citrus leaves become curled, they never uncurl again I believe. So be careful not to overwater it now.

The leaves are somewhat curled, but overall the tree looks quite healthy. Even the leaf curl is not that bad.
