Huanglongbing (HBL), commonly called Greening Disease, is caused by pathogens from infected Asian Citrus Psyllids.  A tree with greening disease has yellowing leaves, twig dieback and reduced fruit size and quality.

These psyllids are about the size of gnats and have a rapid reproductive cycle.  Once a tree is infected, there is no cure and it must be destroyed.  This is one of the most devastating citrus diseases in the world.
