Citrus Pest Alert!

Please Don’t Bring Any Citrus To Our Stores. Due to HLB (Huanglongbing) or citrus greening disease, all citrus sales are now final. We WILL NOT accept citrus returns. Unfortunately for the time being, we ask you not to bring any part of a citrus tree or fruit to our stores in an attempt to diagnose any perceived maladies or identify a variety. Instead, please take many photos of the problem as well as overall pictures of the tree, and from that, we will do our best to assist you. To learn more about HLB, read the story in the March Newsletter PDF.
