New regulations and advice for Xylella

APHA, the UK Animal and Plant Health Agency, has issued new guidance to professionals in horticulture (growers, retailers, landscapers, designers – in fact, anyone who trades in plants) regarding the updated regulations concerning the movement of plants that are hosts for Xylella fastidiosa. The list of hosts is being regularly revised and updated and includes several plants that we work with, including Cistus, Lavandula, Rosmarinus and Hebe.

This bacterium represents a major threat to European horticulture and agriculture. We need to be vigilant and proactive.
