How to treat lemon tree leaves curling?

simba25

Hi everyone,

I planted this lemon tree about 8 months ago and it’s doing ok so far. I have a few lemons on there that have been there for about 2 months but still green which I’m okay with. I regularly water it and have been giving it a citrus fertiliser but I’ve noticed the leaves are starting to curl a little and have some white marks on them. I’ve also noticed ants on the tree. I’m new to gardening so not sure what these things mean but I’d love some help!
