In this Wednesday, July 31, 2019, photo, Brian Bahder, assistant professor of entomology at the University of Florida, points to a cabbage palm tree that died from a lethal bronzing disease in Davie, Fla. Florida's iconic palm trees are under attack from a fatal disease that turns them to dried crisps within months with no chance for recovery once ill. Lethal bronzing is caused by a bacteria spread by a rice-sized insect. It has gone from a small infestation on Florida's Gulf Coast to a statewide problem in a decade. “Getting this disease under control is essential because it has the potential to drastically modify our landscape,” said Bahder.
