Costco’s Desert Willow Warning | Oakland News

Costco’s warning: Some desert willow plants bought between June 24 and July 3 may carry a dangerous pest—the glassy-winged sharpshooter—that can spread deadly plant diseases like Pierce’s disease, threatening vineyards and citrus crops. Don’t plant, move, or dispose of these plants—keep them in their original pots and contact your local agricultural commissioner. Costco will refund you if you show proof of the notice, and officials will remove any confirmed infected plants. This is a critical alert to protect agriculture—stay vigilant and follow the rules.
