Citrus greening disease is also known as Huanglongbing.

One of the worst problems in citrus trees is citrus greening - a bacterial disease that has no cure. It grows in the tissue of citrus plants and eventually causes the tree to die. It is spread by a sap-sucking insect that is not present in Australia. Bringing infected material into Australia could introduce the disease and the insect that spreads it.

This one focuses on citrus canker, if your trees get this then in many cases the govt steps in and gets rid of your trees if not your whole orchard!

Citrus canker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Australia it cost big money when an outbreak occured in Queensland around June 2004.

An Emerald citrus grower in central Queensland says he did not want to "raise the alarm" on the alleged importation of illegal plant material by Evergreen Farms for fear the owners would sue him.

Quote:
The campaign to help for Queensland growers affected by citrus canker has been wound up with a disappointing result.

All citrus in the Emerald region had to be destroyed in 2004, costing growers over $100 million.
