Officials continue to find new positive citrus trees in residential areas.
They believe exposed trees, which are not being cut down due to a Broward Judge's decision, are now becoming positive. The Citrus Canker Bulletin is available on the Florida Citrus Mutual's website, and it is their quote based on information supplied by the Department. Now, a bit of a reality check. The Department informs me that the lesion ages of these positive trees are on the average 5 months old. Other data sources shows lesion ages ranging from 2 to 11 months.
