What is Citrus Greening?
Citrus Greening, a bacterial infection, is wreaking havoc on the global citrus industry. The bacteria invades the tree, constricting the phloem—the vital tubes that transport nutrients between roots, branches, leaves, and fruit—impairing its function. Highly contagious, this disease spreads quickly wherever it appears. Your citrus trees may already be infected, even if they don’t yet display symptoms like yellowing leaves or misshapen fruit.
