Title: HLB Detections Soar In California
Post by: Millet on January 24, 2019, 03:25:18 PM

HLB was detected in 269 trees in 2017 and 699 trees in 2018, with a majority of these occurring in Los Angeles and Orange counties. That’s where the disease was first discovered in California, in 2012 in Hacienda Heights.
The disease has not yet been detected in a California commercial grove, though most industry experts believe it’s just a matter of time.

Too bad, just as the citrus industry finally starts growing decent tasting fruit like 88-2.

Too little, too late I suppose.
