Fertilized Citrus, White Fly, Citrus Psyllid

 It's that time of year again! Citrus fertilizing time! So did them and the other fruit trees (apple, peach, pomegranate) today with an organic fruit tree fertilizer. Sadly, there's no rain in the forecast to help get it into the soil.

Also, just recently there was the first CLas-positive Asian citrus psyllid found in San Diego County on 12/31/2020. I hope they're able to contain that. Sad for home growers and potentially devastating for commercial growers.

I have noticed some lingering white fly on the citrus this winter, but it isn't too bad. I'll continue to keep my eye on that.
