Hello, fellow gardeners,

 

It seems essential to share brief note regarding vigilance about pests and diseases: 

Remember to observe any plant or fruit quarantines active in your area when sharing fruits/veggies, cuttings/scions, or plants.

• Most of Southern California is under citrus quarantine regarding the Asian citrus psyllid and huanglongbing (citrus greening disease), so don't transport plants, cuttings, or anything aside from (washed, leafless) fruits of citrus and their close relatives.  See https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/citrus/pests_diseases/hlb/regulation.html
  
  
• A zone surrounding Santa Clarita is under quarantine for the Tau fruit fly.  See https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/PDEP/target_pest_disease_profiles/tau_ff_profile.html for details and a map.
  
  
• Queensland fruit fly is now near Thousand Oaks and the 23 freeway.  See https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/PDEP/target_pest_disease_profiles/qff_profile.html  and scroll down to the Treatment Maps links to download information on quarantine, treatment, and maps.
  
  
• Three locations in northern/central California and a large zone in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties is now under fruit quarantine for the Oriental fruit fly.  Unprocessed/uncut fruits may not be moved within or out of the zone.  Details are at https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/PDEP/treatment/oriental_ff.html. This is a rapidly expanding quarantine zone, and the CDFA is starting treatment in various areas including Redlands.
  
  
• The black fig fly is destroying figs, particularly unripe ones, so infested figs must be destroyed (NOT composted, not thrown into yard waste, and not into the trash unless double-bagged).  As with many other fruit flies, the larvae pupate in the ground.  Download a PDF file within information from https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/countyag/postings/files/Wilson_et_al_-_P.pdf.
