Palm Tree Disease Is In THE VILLAGES!
My beautiful sable palm will have to be cut down next week due to a disease called LETHAL BRONZING. Nothing can be done to save it once it starts to kill the tree.

HONEST. Y'all read it. I am as surprised as you will be. We are not too old to learn. "Genetic testing shows lethal bronzing likely originated in Mexico’s Yucatan region. Bahder’s hypothesis is that 2005′s Hurricane Wilma, which tracked from the Yucatan to Florida, or a storm with a similar path carried infected treehoppers across the gulf to Tampa. Those insects infected area palms, which infected native treehoppers. The disease spread when winds blew infected bugs to new territories or they hitched rides on vehicles. Bahder said the palm cixiid is particularly attracted to white cars." We drive a dark colored minivan. So relieved.

I have to be honest. If our magnificent Palm Tree took the Big Ride to Palm Tree Heaven I wouldn't be upset at all. It's a maintenance issue that I don't really want. If it was smaller I'd give it away.
It would give us more room for about 20 Pink Flamingoes and or some Beautiful White Crosses. |
