I wonder if this is a useful small scale treatment for home growers as well. Sacrifice a year and get a couple years out of it. I cant watch this at work, any idea how long they have to be in bags?

This looks like a very good way to go for those of us that have small orchards. You could alternate treatment on the trees and have producing trees every year. Wonder when you do it and what temperature is needed?

Results, published in the journal Phytopathology, showed that exposing citrus seedlings to a minimum of 48 hours of temperatures of 104 to 107 degrees Fahrenheit significantly reduced and often eliminated HLB infection. Monitoring showed the effects can last for at least two years.

I have a friend in Florida that said that work is being done to try to treat the root system by injecting steam around the tree.  They are hoping that by doing both treatments simultaneously that the disease can be eradicated from the entire tree.
