Chris had mentioned mine was virused. I got some test kits in to test a few of my plants. Over the years I have thrown out plants that were obviously virused. I also bought a few kits a few years ago to test some suspicious plants - they were all negative. I wanted to run a test on a known bad plant and Honeybells fit my test case. Here are a series of photos of the process. The test kit says to wait 30 minutes but this registered the virus in two minutes.

These test photos for HVX have been very interesting. I'm sorry to see the positive results though.

Hi Carol, this was a plant from a neighbor. The neighbor hood is filled with these but I haven't seen a virused one. I have to go through my neighbors yard to see what's going on.
