I have just bought 4 citrus bushes + 1 Eureka lemon.
I see that you are in Florida.....you need to let the right people check out your citrus Depends on where in Florida you got them as to next move
What other bushes did you find them on? If you think this is acp, call your county agent. I am sure he will be interested and determine what you have.
Thank you for all the help.Referring to your posts:1. Yes, it is on new growth. On Key lime actually, I mixed the containers up.2. It is a very tiny insect. The picture is 8x zoom3. All the bushes I referred to are citrus. I bought these miniature citrus bushes to plant in planters around the house. 5 containers altogether.4. I am afraid it is the best picture I have taken. I will try tomorrow again. Or rather I hope all bugs will be done after neem oil spray.
I find some of them on my tangerine tree. What is that and how I can get rid of them?
If a citrus tree is in a Citrus Greening area such as Florida with active ACP, the chance of the tree getting citrus greening is about 100 percent. You can spray all you wish but it is still about 100 percent. All it takes is just one infected psyllid bite. HLB presently has not cure. The only treatment to insure that a citrus tree will not be infected would to build a screen around the tree to keep the psyllids from ever landing and feeding on the tree.

If it is infected, just destroyed it.The more knowledge gain, the more worries about the citrus tree
