Learn how to successfully grow citrus despite citrus greening disease and take home a disease-tolerant Sugar Belle mandarin tree.
About this Event

Backyard citrus trees have long been a staple of Florida landscapes, but many homeowners are losing their trees to citrus greening disease (HLB), a devastating bacterial infection spread by the Asian citrus psyllid. This disease weakens trees, reduces fruit quality, and ultimately leads to tree decline.

Join us for an informative session on how to successfully grow citrus in Martin County despite these challenges. Learn about disease-tolerant varieties, proper tree care, and best management practices to keep your citrus healthy. All attendees will receive a dwarfSugar Belle® mandarin tree—a delicious and highly disease-tolerant hybrid of the clementine and honeybell, and a tree protection system to help provide added protection to the young trees. Sugar Belles are known for their rich flavor, easy peeling, and resilience against citrus greening, making them an excellent choice for home growers. The dwarf Sugar Belle will only get 8-10 feet tall!

Don't miss this opportunity to bring citrus back to your backyard!
