Hello Larry, Is it possible to grow a citrus tree in Northern Montana? We have nearly 4 months of warm weather for outside potted plants. Will a citrus tree survive indoor climate?
The whole Florida citrus industry is in shambles with psyllid infestation. Psyllids are impossible to eradicate. Everyone of my 15 trees in my orchard was destroyed. 4 trees tested positive for Citrus Greening. I'm in Panama Beach, Florida. My trees were located close to each other in a small orchard, so they decided to destroy all the trees because the others would become infected also later on. I agreed. 5 trees had psyllids on them when destroyed this past summer.
When you remove a tree with citrus greening, you're not supposed to replace it with another tree. The psyllids feed on the new tree's new flush, lay eggs, & infect the new tree & others with citrus greening. Just one psyllid lays 700 to 800 eggs. It only takes one psyllid to infest a grove. 800 psyllids laying 800 eggs, laying 800 eggs, etc.... there's no way possible of controlling that.

I propose this as a possible cure for citrus greening 500 ppm colloidal silver foliar spray with 10% dmso.
