That is the main reason why we stopped buying more trees. We don't want to take the risk of bringing in something that might wind up killing our existing trees. From what think I understand there is now only a single source for wholesale purchases of citrus trees in Florida, and they are heavily inspected and treated, but there is always a chance of something getting through.

We have a place nearby that used to do their own citrus trees for sale, including grafting and the lot, but that got shut down, and now they get their trees from the same place everyone else does.
