Do I have this right??

ONE freepin' tree, in 1995, is the cause of murdering 600,000 Healthy trees.

Leave the victim ... er ... sick one and get rid of the healthy ones.

I get it!

NOT.

Someone in Duh 'splane this to me ... please.

If they find one citrus tree with canker.....then EVERY FRUIT TREE .... HEALTHY OR NOT ~~ MUST be cut down within 1900 feet( i think that's the number). NOT RIGHT. This really pi$$es me off.

600K are only the backyard trees.
Another 1.5 million were slaughtered in commercial orchards.

It is mass vegi-cide.

This is a new canker. It still can be eradicated. If it is not, then everyone in Florida will face it forever. And the cost of keeping trees canker free will not be cheap for homeowners or the industry. Much better to lose a tree or 100,000 trees today than have this canker established in Florida. There may not be a citrus industry here as other states and foreign countries might refuse to allow our fruit in. I check my trees. If canker shows up, I'll call the state that day. I'm grateful they'll take them down for me for free.
