Tree Pest and Disease Alerts
Golden Spotted Oak Borer Infestation
The goldspotted oak borer is a pest new to southern California that can kill mature trees. This insect aggressively attacks three oak species with repeat attacks occurring over several years. It is contributing to the on-going oak tree mortality occurring on federal, state, private, and Native American lands in San Diego County and has the potential to kill native oak species throughout California.

Asian Citrus Psyllid
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has placed all of Los Angeles County under a quarantine regulating the movement of citrus and closely-related plants. The quarantine follows the detection of several dozen Asian citrus psyllids in Los Angeles’ Echo Park area. Federal, state and county officials are working with growers to implement the quarantine and hopefully prevent the spread of the Asian citrus psyllid in California.
