Costco Grapevines Carry Deadly Bug

Costco’s California grapevine recall just got serious—thousands of staked vines may be carrying the glassy-winged sharpshooter, a bug that spreads deadly Pierce’s disease. Officials are racing to find and quarantine infected plants after a nursery failed to disclose exposure, with over 13,000 vines potentially affected across 24 counties. If you bought one between April 21 and May 21, don’t plant it—keep it isolated and contact your local agricultural office. This isn’t just a garden bug; it’s a wine industry threat that’s already hitched a ride on crepe myrtles and more. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
