I'm afraid All my trees may be infected as well....I live in Southern Ca, Temecula Valley...I had no idea this thing was already out here until I read your recent post the other week about CA also being infected...

So I decided to check my trees....Sure enough...I spotted that Damn bug on my Mexican Lime...Took a nice good look around on all my trees and can see some signs of  greening or hopefully just a nutrient issue....But can definitely spot out some yellow green mottling....Most important I have identified that damn bug.....This is going to really suck if all my trees our infected.... Well here comes more lichi, cherimoya, and mangos

If you don't have a rare and extensive collection of citrus, I would consider destroying it. And replace with some other stuff. You want citrus type flavors look into Corryocactus brevistylus for lemon acidic flavor. Also look into Naranjilla/Cocona for citrus flavors. I have also tasted wild Cylindropuntia prolifera growing around Palos Verdes, the fruit has a limey unique citrus flavor.
