I'm not familiar with coconut growing in the state. However, a lot of the citrus growers are planting different crops, ie blueberries, guava, etc. They're saying that guava trees have been a tool to fight the fly that has caused citrus greening.

Coconut growing has always been a small business there.

The millions of trees that died were landscaping.

We lost like four trees at our house, and another six at my Father's hotel.

For a couple years Broward County looked like it had been clear cut by an insane logging company.

The blight was called "Lethal Yellowing."

There are probably old pictures on the Internet.
