Grape Vines Under Siege in Santa Clara | San Jose News

Santa Clara County is launching a massive, unprecedented door-to-door recall of thousands of grape plants sold at Costco, after discovering they may carry a deadly pest—the glassy-winged sharpshooter—that threatens to wipe out the local $400 million agricultural industry, including iconic wine regions like Napa and Sonoma. Officials are urging residents to double-bag the plants and leave them out for pickup, warning against moving, composting, or discarding them, as any mishandling could spread the disease. With over 1,300 plants already distributed and more than 1,100 still unaccounted for, this is the largest recall in county history—a community-wide effort to protect the region’s economy and heritage before it’s too late.
