Aren't leaf "curl" and "roll" two different things? To me, a curl means when the leaf looks like a fiddle fern shape, the entire leaf usually curling downward. A roll implies the leaf's outer edges rolling inward towards the center, no?
So would you say its definitely a curl, and if so, down or up?
Either way, its stress of some sort but I think we have to clarify for FrankT by what is meant by these 2 words. I think in other posts I have read that the curling is often a sign of damage from Roundup, perhaps drifting on the wind from a neighboring property. The rolling is maybe heat stress? I am not an expert but I have seen the rolling, and it usually goes away after I water well after a very hot day. For the first time ever, I have 2 plants with the downward curl, very mystified till I read about it here in T'Ville. No other surrounding plants have it, but the 2 are still going strong despite the curls.
