I plugged in my address (St Petersburg, Fla) and it shows me in a green circle with the message: You are more than 5 miles from an HLB detection (colored boxes).I guess the means that my citrus trees are relatively safe for now? I thought surely I would be in a hot zone.

I thought surely I would be in a hot zone.Out of curiosity I plugged in my location and got the same message. I know for sure HLB is in my area as I have lost over a dozen trees to it, so I would be careful coming to the conclusion that your citrus is safe, just from that info.

I would like to see some other Floridians chime in with their results.Incidentally, I received an email from a UF biologist letting me know the little wasps are being overnighted to me next Tuesday.
I’m in the quarantine zone and had to take down a couple for HLB trees in ‘21 and it doesn’t show anything. Must be good in California only?
