Beyond Citrus: Fruit Tree Options for Los Angeles and Southern California, Aug 8 2020

Описание: Learn how to select and care for non-citrus fruit trees that perform and produce well in Los Angeles County and surrounding areas.

Huanglongbing (HLB) or Citrus Greening Disease is also discussed as it is the most devastating disease of citrus worldwide and is now spreading through residential citrus trees in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Because there is currently no effective treatment for HLB, the Los Angeles County Master Gardeners are encouraging local residents to consider planting non-citrus fruit trees. This will help slow the spread of the disease, giving researchers time to develop effective solutions.
