I have only seen the CCPP website photos and your leaves looks more like a bad case of mold and fungus. I read the HLB infected trees takes a few years before it starts showing the yellow/veins in the leaves and the fruits start to look bad. But your yellow leaf color doesn't look normal. Something is wrong with your tree.I guess you will know for sure when they come and test your plants. If they are HLB/citrus greening then your area will be in a quarantine zone now.
No not citrus greening. Many of the leaves are just showing that they are old. A citrus leaf has a life span of 18 months. How often do you fertilize your tree, and how old is the tree/
I hope it is not HLB by the way. I don't want to be a pessimist, but that disease has just been burned into my brain from seeing it everyday. It has been a heart breaking disease to watch here in Central Florida. Kindof like being forced to watch your home burn to the ground without being able to do anything to prevent it. I have several dear friends in the industry among them are one in his 80s and another in his 90s. They remember Florida before AC and Disney. Few people have worked harder or longer to earn what they have and it breaks my heart to see them working to the bone when someone in the corporate world would have been retired for 20 or 30 years by this point. Neither of them would have stayed at it if they thought there was any possibility that they were harming others by all the things they were trying to find a solution. Neither they nor their groves will be around much longer--what can I say. The Lord gives and takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
It looks to me like you may have sprayed your trees with either a homemade or incorrect application of an insecticidal soap or nutritional spray. Then the leaves burned and the plants went into a state of shock.
I hope it's not either. Glory to Jesus Christ..thank you.Quote from: Galatians522 on June 08, 2022, 10:00:24 PMI hope it is not HLB by the way.
