Loquat Tree Has Curled Leaves

I started a loquat tree indoors from seed and it is now 2 feet tall. It is green and growing well, but the newest leaves are "cupped". Instead of lying flat the tips curl downward. It gets plenty of water and I fertilize it regularly. Can you tell we what the cause is and how to fix it? Thanks.
