Question: I’ve heard at Citrus Home Advisors from the Extension. Who are they?
- Roy, R., LeHigh Acres
Answer: The Citrus Home Advisors are a small group of Master Gardeners. They have undergone additional training in diagnosing citrus problems and recommending treatments. At no cost, one or two Citrus Home Advisors will come to your yard to check on your tree. They cannot and will not attempt to diagnose Citrus Canker. If you have a citrus problem and would like first hand consultation, call us at 461-7504 or go to our website (Citrus Home Advisors) to get further acquainted with these volunteers.
Stephen Brown is a horticulture agent with the Lee County Extension.
