The outbreak stems from infected plants sold at Costco, traced back to Burchell Nursery in Fresno. Over 150 unaccounted vines may already be planted, prompting urgent warnings: don’t plant them, double-bag them instead, and don’t return or trash them. This could devastate vineyards, costing millions and requiring costly replanting. Costco is helping track down owners, and officials have already destroyed some infected plants—including one with live eggs. If you bought vines recently, heed your county’s instructions to stop the spread before it’s too late. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
