[Arid_gardener] navel orange citrus, stunted

[Linda Drew]

Hi

I talked with the entomologist and he suspects eriophyid mite
feeding. If the Sun City West people send your branch down
here, we can be more certain of the diagnosis.

The usual treatment for eriophyid mites is to prune out and
remove affected branches, but that may not be feasible with
you tree.
