The HLB bacteria can infect most citrus cultivars, species and hybrids and even some citrus relatives.... The juice from affected fruit is low in soluble solids, high in acids and abnormally bitter. The fruit retains its green color at the navel end when mature, which is the reason for the common name "citrus greening disease. "This fruit is of no value because of poor size and quality.
