| Posted by vitrsna (Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico - Zone 11a) on Sep 16, 2015 2:43 PM As a member of the Rutaceae Family, this plant should be a host for Giant Swallowtail butterflies, as well as Black Swallowtails and a few others, although I won't be able to confirm this until the plant matures. The disease caused by the Diaphorina citri reportedly can be controlled by pruning any affected growth. It is said the plant is illegal to sell or own in the State of Florida due to the potential for disease. [ Reply to this comment | |
