Help fight PPV

Plum pox virus, an exotic disease, threatens ornamental and fruit-bearing trees.

Check out this press release from the Department of Horticulture. It does mention to call county CCE office. Your role could be simply to provide the concerned person with the number for USDA-APHIS office in Lockport, N.Y. (716-433-6482) which is listed in the article. You might want to offer as much assistance as helping the concerned citizens determine if the plant that concerns them is one of the at risk plants but you need not feel obligated to do more than provide the USDA-APHIS.
