Citrus Budwood for September 2008 Time to Place Your Order
TO: California Nurserymen and Growers August 25, 2008
FROM: The Citrus Clonal Protection Program (CCPP)
SUBJECT: Ordering Citrus Plant Materials September 2008
Due to recent accelerated findings of citrus tristeza closterovirus (CTV) in the CCPP Foundation Blocks and in the surrounding trees located on the Lindcove Research and Extension Center all citrus budwood distributed by the CCPP during this September 2008 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 should be aware that quantities of budwood may be very limited. Budwood will be harvested from 5 year old trees growing in-ground or from smaller trees which are grown in pots. 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.
