Time to Place Your Order Now- CCPP Citrus Budwood for September 2009 Please submit Budwood Orders by Thursday, September 17, 2009 TO: California Nurserymen and Growers September 1, 2009 FROM: The Citrus Clonal Protection Program (CCPP) Due to findings of citrus tristeza closterovirus (CTV) in the CCPP Foundation Blocks and in the surrounding trees located on the Lindcove Research and Extension Center over the past few years all citrus budwood distributed by the CCPP during this September 2009 cutting period will be cut exclusively from Screenhouse Protected Foundation trees. No budwood will be cut or distributed from any field grown or unprotected trees at this time. The CCPP maintains in-ground and potted trees protected under screen which produce limited amounts of registered budwood that is available for distribution in accordance with California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) regulations. Purchasers please be aware that quantities of budwood may be very limited at this cutting period. This spring of 2009 we replaced almost 300 potted trees in our screenhouse that were aging and declining in budwood production with new propagations. We have also increased the in-ground screenhouse plantings to over 100 varieties in 2009. The CCPP has returned 27 varieties back to the available list as bud source trees have matured, and there have been 6 new varieties added to the Early Release list. Because many of these propagations are still very young budwood of some varieties may be very limited at this time. All budwood distributed at this cutting period will come from non-fruiting screenhouse protected trees and the CCPP has not performed any fruit evaluation for trueness-to-type on any of these trees.
