Phylloxera

[Kcwhippet]

guru,

I'm not sure what Jancis Robinson is referring to, or how you read it, but infestations of phyloxera have been on a more than limited scale in CA. Most of Napa Valley has been replanted over the past decade, because the rootstock UCD claimed was louse resistant (AXR-1 I believe) really wasn't to all strains of Phyloxera. There have been some infestations elsewhere where there weren't before around the world, and those are being dealt with also.
