Interesting! But the tree is still infected with hlb so it could potentially still spread the disease even though it doesn't suffer symptoms? Seems great for areas already ravaged by hlb, but if it can still spread it, seems iffy to propagate it outside of infected zones?

Thank you for posting the video of this tree. It is amazing, and the scientist seem to be very  egger about the possibilities that this tree  could provide additional information concerning greening.

Technically, Donaldson is tolerant, not resistant.

They have a bunch of tolerant trees now but they are hybrids with tangerine, grapefruit, sour orange etc cant legally sell it as orange juice. This is a pure orange. Anyway I like the tangerine juice better but they havent sold it in several years. They have sun dragon which has trifoliate and grapefruit in the mix but is mostly orange and they crossed sugar bell with a bunch of stuff which sugar bell is mainly tangerine but has some grapefruit in the mix.
