Be careful where you take your scion wood from. Pox has been found in 
Southwest Michigan Research and Experiment Center (SWMREC), a Michigan State 
University facility, located near the Benton Harbor-St. Joseph area.

Also, a 108-tree orchard located in Niagara County, N.Y. -- within five miles 
of plum pox eradication zones in Canada.

And in 2000 the virus was detected in Nova Scotia and Ontario, Canada.

Plum pox virus was first detected in North America in October of 1999 in 
Adams County, Pennsylvania.
