Can anyone tell me why the leaves are "closing up" and going all funny looking and how can I fix this problem. Thanks.

(Leaf curl) it's a small insect/mite that curls the leaf to lay it's eggs, just strip the leaves and put them in the bin and you should be rite, im not sure on any sprays for this but doesn't mean there isn't one,

yes, I recently had the same problem, but I totally defoliated my tree and its regrown a fresh canopy of lush healthy leaves.
