Produce grown in Willow Glen, Rose Garden should stay at home.
The Willow Glen and Rose Garden areas of San Jose are within a portion of Santa Clara County that the California Secretary of Agriculture has placed under quarantine for the oriental fruit fly following the detection of eight flies in the cities of Santa Clara and Sunnyvale.
The oriental fruit fly is an invasive pest that poses a significant threat to California’s agricultural industry. It is known to infest more than 230 fruits and vegetables, including valuable California crops such as avocados, apples, stone and citrus fruits, tomatoes and peppers. Residents should continue to use their green organics cart for disposal of all fruit and vegetables. Additionally, residents can freeze homegrown produce and place it in their organics cart the night before cart collection to help prevent the spread of fruit flies.
