I don't think it got cold enough long enough to kill back the usual villains that can be major problems. - Bill
I'm certain this is what's behind our psyllid problem. Historically they come on summer's south winds, but their advance has been so strong and so early the last few years that I think they're finding warm pockets within the metro and over-wintering. In any case, with this warmer climate all bugs have more survivable days in a year. In turn, they will come on stronger and stay longer. Not liking it at all.
