| Has anyone heard whether or not Florida's Citrus ban will end in the near future?
All but a couple of my citrus were purchased in Fl..from Briteleaf and Harris Citrus. I would like to add a few more trees...Getting antsy, lol. This ban has been going on, what 5-6 years? I'd appreciate an update..thanks much, Toni |

| Toni, I don't know the answer to your question, but I will tell you that I've been seeing a lot more publicity about Citrus Greening disease of late. Heck, it's even been on our local news! I doubt that we'll see the ban relaxed any time soon. Have you looked into nurseries in the other citrus states? |

| We can't get citrus shipped into Arizona, but luckily one local nursery carries a huge selection. I got a pink variegated Eureka last week. Have you checked local ? JoJo |

| hopeful, I haven't heard of anything lately. Meanwhile, you might wanna take up grafting. If you can get good rootstock, Logees has quite a few NICE varieties of citrus (I believe thiers are rooted cuttings but you can take a piece to graft onto the rootstock). Some of them, I haven't even seen around here in FL yet soooo.. I just watched a really good grafting video this morning. This guy at Fairchild Botanical Garden makes it look so easy lol. I have done a few grafts before and had some success. Here's a link to the video. |
