More HLB In California

(1/3) > >>

Millet:
The number of HLB detections in Orange County is booming. So far, more than 330 total trees have been confirmed to be infected by HLB, making Orange County the highest concentration of cases thus far in California. By comparison, over 230 trees have been confirmed in Los Angeles County

mrtexas:
This is really terrible news and the beginning of the end of California citrus.

luak:
Can HLB spread to northern states like Arkansas for example, if not, would it be wise to get fancy sionwood now while it is still available. patent tree's are still not available to out of state people, California has a few.

So_Cal_Mike:
There was someone on the growing fruit forum from West Virginia, that posted in a “what’s this bug” thread. It was without a doubt Asian Citrus Psyllid. He had his citrus trees indoors for the winter and had no idea how he got them.
So the insect that carries HLB is definitely getting around.  :-\

Millet:
More than 100 Asian Citrus Psyllids recently found in San Obispo county California so far this year. County officials say the psyllids were brought in by people buying citrus from out of the county.
