Default Re: Hawaii growers???

I see aphids, but I've had no BBTV as of yet (knocks on wood ), but I've seen others in the near area that have had it. I recently read that even heliconia plants will support the same type of aphid as the BBTV vector. This concerns me because some of the growers around me do have heliconias. I don't know if the heliconias show symptoms or not. If not, they could be a source of infection for the aphids to carry around, and no one would even know it. ARRRRGGGGHHH!!!
