this contains a pretty comprehensive list of the host plants with a lot more info on the little bug: PEST PROFILE Common Name: Asian Citrus Psyllid Scientific Name: Diaphorina citri Kuwayama Order and Family: Hemiptera, Psyllidae Description: The Asian citrus psyllid is 3 to 4 mm long with a brown mottled body. The head is light brown. The wings are broadest in the apical half, mottled, and with a dark brown band extending around the periphery of the outer half of the wing. The insect is covered with a whitish waxy secretion, making it appear dusty. Nymphs are generally yellowish orange in color, with large filaments confined to an apical plate of the abdomen. The eggs are approximately 0.3 mm long, elongate, almond-shaped. Fresh eggs are pale in color, but then turn yellow and finally orange at the time of hatching. Eggs are placed on plant tissue with the long axis vertical to the surface of the plant. History and Economic Importance: Asian citrus psyllid was first found in Palm Beach County, Florida, in June 1998 in backyard plantings of orange jasmine. By 2001, it had spread to 31 counties in Florida, with much of the spread due to movement of infested nursery plants. In the spring of 2001, Asian citrus psyllid was accidentally introduced into the Rio Grande Valley on potted nursery stock from Florida. It was subsequently found in Hawaii in 2006 and in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina in 2008. The Asian citrus psyllid has the potential to invade California at any time, with the most likely sources of infestation being Mexico, other infested U.S. states, or Asia. There were 170 interceptions of Asian citrus psyllid at US ports on plant material with an Asian origin from 1985 to 2003. Distribution: The Asian citrus psyllid is found in tropical and subtropical Asia, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Reunion, Mauritius, parts of South and Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and the U.S. (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas). Life Cycle: Eggs are laid on tips of growing shoots, on and between unfurling leaves. Females may lay more than 800 eggs during their lives. Nymphs pass through five instars. The total life cycle requires from 15 to 47 days, depending on environmental factors such as temperature and season. The adults may live for several months. There is no diapause but populations are low in the winter or during dry periods. There are nine to 10 generations a year, with up to 16 observed under observation in field cages. Host and Damage: The Asian citrus psyllid feeds mainly on Citrus spp., at least two species of Murraya , and at least three other genera all in the family Rutaceae. The most serious damage caused by Asian citrus psyllid is due to its ability to effectively vector the phloem-inhabiting bacterium Candidatus liberibacterasiaticus that causes citrus greening disease. In the past, this bacterium has been extremely hard to detect and characterize. In recent years, however, DNA probes, electron microscopy and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests (ELISA) have been developed that have improved detection. Symptoms of citrus greening include yellow shoots, with mottling and chlorosis of the leaves. The juice of the infected fruit has a bitter taste. Fruit do not color properly leading to the name "greening". Citrus greening is one of the most devastating diseases of citrus in the world. Injury caused by psyllids results from the withdrawal of large amounts of sap from the plant as they feed and produce copious amounts of honeydew. The honeydew coats the leaves of the tree, encouraging sooty mold to grow. The once flourishing citrus industry in India is slowly being wiped out by dieback. This dieback has multiple causes but the major cause is due to greening disease.

Hi Bets. Did you get my email from my yahoo address? Not sure what was goin on with my netzero account. : )

Thanks Fusion, that is so helpful! I know so little about breeding tomatoes. I was wondering what the other "parent" might be. It could very well be some potato leaf red cherry since I do know potato leaf is recessive. And thanks for the information about Chuck Wyatt's Orange PL Cherry. Will be interesting to see how this hybrid tastes. Hopefully good, otherwise what am I going to do with all these fruits! ;-) Of the three plants from LYH seed, one is true, one is this orange salad size fruit. Still waiting on the third to see what that turns out to be. It is a smaller plant, like the cherry. But doesn't have the cherry like trusses on it and no fruit set yet.

I love the Carla Aston article someone suggested! There are two articles about updating warm beige interiors with travertine (although mine is new). One suggests whites and the other suggests deep grays. I didn’t know there were grays with red undertone! I need to go and get a Granite AF-660 color chip. It’s not as dark as some other grays I’ve looked at. The room looks dark in the evening, but it does get decent light during the day. It has a skylight and glass patio doors. I’ll also be adding a floor lamp. There is a large white leather sectional in the room, too. It adds quite a bit of brightness and seems to reflect light. It’s another reason why I would prefer not to paint the entire room white.
