Was called TDDS, and is viral-ish. The saws WILL spread it, as well as flying palm feeding insects.
Annual injections to keep Lethal Bronzing (TDDS) from killing your tree should not cost more than 40-50 for the 1st one, and 20-30 for the annual boosters. Some spray companies were charging $100s, the shot itself is less than 5 bucks and you don't need a special license to purchase and use. They WANT you to use it, and it has to be affordable for the growers as well.
Seems the quarantine they were placing on the counties that TDDS was discovered in a few years back, came to The Villages to die.
