A global disease of citrus, HLB was first found in the U.S. in Florida – the nation’s top citrus-producing state – a decade ago which has since led to massive tree death and financial devastation for the state’s citrus industry.
Yet the future is looking brighter for Florida growers, and others in the nation’s citrus industry, thanks to the bevy of agricultural research advancements.
Besides Florida, HLB has been found in citrus in Texas. A single confirmed HLB infected tree was found in California in 2012 , the nation’s second-largest commercial citrus producer. Many expect the disease to rear its ugly head there again soon.
There are no confirmed cases in Arizona.
