And I know that doesn't mean a lot to a lot of people, but it's an invasive species that it's not from here. It creates Pierce's disease amongst grapes. And so the nursery folks, there's not rootstocks yet that are... What's the word? Resistant, but tolerant. I guess tolerance is the word. Tolerant to it. And so Pierce's disease will kill trees.
