and it\u2019s a deadly bacterium that is gaining attention as it takes mark on the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Olive\">olive<\/a> trees and groves of Italy since 2013.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/science\/2018\/08\/italy-olive-trees-dying-xylella\/\">In 2016, this bacterium was blamed for the death of some one million olive trees in Southern Italy most of which were cut down to stop the deadly bacterium from spreading.\u00a0 <\/a>But it hasn\u2019t stopped.\u00a0 Even with netting and routine pruning, olive trees continue to suffer and eventually die or are cut down.<em>\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know that the bacterium that causes olive tree disease starts somewhere within the heart of the tree and then travels towards the roots and branches.\u00a0 This is the reason pruning can sometimes be beneficial.\u00a0 Research has also shown that there are specific varieties of olive trees that are more susceptible to Xylella resulting in growers moving toward varieties with less risk when they replace or add new growth areas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a pest, the meadow spittlebug, that is the carrier of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Xylem \">Xylella <\/a>and the reason it is necessary to net the trees to prevent this pest from traveling and spreading this major bacterium concern to other areas and other countries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much like our North American Emerald Ash Borer pest that is responsible for tens of millions of ash tree death and destruction, the meadow spittlebug and the Xylella bacterium it can carry results in loss of olive production to those damaged branches.\u00a0 Although the olive oil pressed from the olives research shows does not carry any disease or risk from this specter of olive tree disease, the bacterium has significantly reduced the volume of olives available to produce oil.\u00a0 Thus, pricing goes up as availability of olives depletes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Olive Tree Disease- It&#8217;s Not Just an Olive Concern<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might think this is just an olive tree issue but you\u2019d be deadly wrong.\u00a0 <em>Xylella <\/em>is a strain of bacterium that is considered one of the most dangerous plant bacteria in the world.\u00a0 It causes a tree to die of thirst from the inside out by blocking the xylem or transport tissue of the tree responsible for moving water and nutrients from the roots upwards to other parts of the tree. <em>Xylella<\/em> is then carried from tree to tree by the spittlebug who latch on to the tree\u2019s xylem tubes sucking out liquid.\u00a0 When they travel to the next tree to feed, the bacterium they\u2019ve picked up is passed into that tree\u2019s xylem when they go to feed again.\u00a0 With no cure, the plant or tree stays infected for life, until it dies.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been strains of <em>Xylella fastidiosa<\/em> in citrus as well as pear, peach and plum.\u00a0 There is also a potential new strain in Southern California that could affect the grape production which could decimate the wine production something not needed after all the years of wildfires.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continents currently affected by this bacterium include North America, Europe, and Asia but more are expected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Olive Tree Disease- What\u2019s Next?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my opinion, the focused concern is on the specific market of product whether it be olive oil, wine, or fruits and not on the tree destruction that is occurring all around us.\u00a0 I\u2019m wondering how much longer we have to witness century old trees dying and family businesses evaporating from what appears to be nature taking back or returning to the soil what she feels is rightly hers.\u00a0 I can\u2019t help but think that these pests that are invading our largest plants on our planet are likely the result of our own actions or even inaction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How concerned are you about the North American trees?\u00a0 Leave us a comment and subscribe to get our latest tips, techniques, and recipes, plus, the science behind the fire and smoke.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SmokinLicious\u00ae products:<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wood Chunks- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/blog\/wood-chunks-double-and-single-filet\/\">Double &amp;
