Citrus trees in the southernmost county of Texas tested positive for Citrus Greening Disease earlier this week. The site is roughly near San Benito TX -- which has a latitude of 26-deg N. It is still unclear whether CGD can persist in environments above 30-deg N in the U.S., such as California. In the meantime we're hoping it doesn't somehow get here in an undocumented plant shipment.

Here's a couple of related articles:
