This is going to have far reaching effects in the citrus industry.

I am wondering if UCR will still be doing their Jan 18th budwood cut, for which I have an order in... I haven't heard anything from treesource either up in Exeter, CA., where I had another pending order.

1st Florida and now this....

Millet, I will keep you updated ASAP. Will inquire again. Watsonville has more of a maritime climate so they may not be as bad as we did.

Joe, if the Gene Lester tour is an open event can you keep us all informed as to it's status? If so, I'd really like to make the trip down and get the chance to meet you guys in person.
