    Your lime (at least) has gall wasps, those lumpy nodules on the branches and all the citrus have leaf miner, hence the curled up leaves.

    There are remedies on the internet for these but usually people prune off the infected gall wasp lumps but I have read you can skin some bark off to expose the wasp nests which apparently kills them. No experience in that remedy.

    White/horticultural oil can help with leaf miner but there are traps you can use too I believe.

    Citrus food regularly, mulch, no competing plants or grass under them.

    No idea about pomegranate trees.
