We regret to inform you that we will no longer be able to sell citrus until further notice. Due to recent developments and expanding quarantine measures, we’re unable to offer our beloved citrus varieties at this time. We hope to be able to offer citrus before the end of the year and will keep you posted on any changes.
Understanding the Quarantine:
Over the past six months, the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) have expanded quarantine boundaries in response to the spread of Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening disease. This action affects multiple counties across Southern California, including parts of Riverside, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange counties.
The latest expansion, effective April 22, 2025, has added new areas to the quarantine zone, specifically the Riverside area of Riverside County (grid 472) and the Valley Center area of San Diego County (grid 500). These regions are now part of the Asian Citrus Psyllid Bulk Citrus Regional Quarantine Zone 6, aimed at aligning with broader HLB containment efforts.
Our Commitment:
We are committed to adhering to these measures for the greater good of our community and the future health of our state’s citrus industry. Officials are continually expanding monitoring and containment strategies to curb the spread of the disease. Meanwhile, research institutions and government agencies are working diligently to seek long-term solutions.
How You Can Help:
To do your part to help suppress the spread of Huanglongbing (HLB), be sure to inspect your trees and spray them when they encounter any insect infestations by applying the proper insecticides. You can stop in our store to pickup “Bug Buster-O” which kills more than 100 listed insects — currently in stock.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. We’re eager to bring back our full range of citrus products and will update you as soon as conditions allow. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
