I went out first thing this morning and looked at my Mango Crush very carefully. She is perfect. I have had her at least 2 years so I really think she is not infected. She went thru winter here outside and it was a wet, wet winter. I also checked with a friend I recently sent a piece to, and she tells me it has rooted and looks just great.

So if she is not infected, then Mango Crush is not a carrier. However, someone could have gotten theirs infected and then shared not realizing it and that is why several people got it. I will continue to watch her carefully. I just love her name!!

I think this one is so pretty and so different. I am really hoping it does well.

Again, it is so important to scrub your hands between brugs, and to boil your cutters between them also. I have taken to snapping brug pieces off with plastic disposable gloves on, so I do not have to sterilize my clippers so much. I also worry about people who use a communal container to root more than one kind of brug. A perfect way to contaminate non suavs.
