Sad to see HVX getting worse. Lots of new hosta growers could be facing this :(

And Lynn, ask that wholesaler what kind of tests they are doing. I asked one last year and was told "visual inspection" of the fields, and they were simply throwing away the infected looking ones and selling the rest, unless 5% of more were showing, then they supposedly threw them all away, however it wouldn't surprise me if those even ended up being sold somewhere...

Thanks for being a strong reliable source for HVX information.
I think I would be safe in saying "we" appreciate it
Thanks again
Izzy
