flag California imposes citrus quarantine in Ramona after HLB detection, restricting movement to halt spread of deadly disease.

flag California has imposed a new citrus quarantine in Ramona after two residential trees tested positive for Huanglongbing (HLB), a fatal disease spread by the Asian citrus psyllid. flag This marks the first HLB quarantine in the area, expanding existing restrictions in Oceanside, Rancho Bernardo, Valley Center, and Fallbrook. flag The disease, which causes mottled leaves, bitter fruit, and tree death, has no cure and threatens California’s citrus industry. flag Movement of citrus plants, fruit, and plant materials from the zone is restricted to prevent spread. flag Residents are urged to report symptoms, avoid moving citrus, cooperate with inspections, and buy from reputable nurseries. flag Infected trees must be removed, prompting some property owners to sue over compensation.
