I tried this question in the Tropical Fruits Forum about a month ago.

Folks there were interested, and helpful, but couldn't resolve the question. Perhaps someone here will be familiar with this problem(?)

About two months ago the leaves on one of my papaya trees started coming in very disfigured, and very much smaller. (See image attached) Now I notice that the problem has spread to another tree.

Upon close inspection, I find no evidence of insects whatsoever; and in fact have sprayed with insecticide anyway, as well as fungicide.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you very much,
