Ambrosia beetle/Avocado deaths

Check out this article on the ambrosia beetle, an insect that is threatening Florida's avocado industry.  Our own tree seems to have been affected:




The large tree is the avocado - presumably at least 30 years old - the tree next to it is the grapefruit tree.  Notice the browning leaves - my hope is that our tree is vivacious enough to survive!
