Has The Yellow Dragon Been Tamed?
In this LAist story, researchers at UC Riverside may have found a cure or treatment for Huanglongbing disease of citrus. Anybody in the San Gabriel Valley who has wanted to grow citrus knows that because of concerns about Huanglongbing (which translates to 'yellow dragon' disease), citrus trees are not available in local nurseries, and that fruit from citrus trees here is under an agricultural stay-at-home order. Hopefully these researchers are on to something.
