Despite being the only citrus-producing state with no instances of huanglongbing, the Asian Citrus Psyllid is found within the state. Therefore, clean budwood is essential to help keep the trees of citrus producers and citrus hobbyist’s free of disease. The Arizona Citrus Clean Plant Network (NCPN-Citrus AZ) serves primarily small local nurseries and homeowners by providing a source of clean budwood. The AZ-CPN currently has 127 trees of 49 different accessions. They are also growing disease-free seedlings for a canine detection program for Asian Citrus Psyllid.
