Dangers of Moving Citrus Fruit in California

The movement of citrus fruit poses a severe danger to California’s citrus trees due to the presence of Asian citrus psyllids and huanglongbing (also known as HLB or citrus greening). You can help save California’s citrus trees by consuming home-grown citrus at home.

There are multiple quarantines in place in California to protect citrus trees:
