NJ, not good.  It is carried by storm winds, which could help it land right smack in New England, our weather and lack of sunshine has created an ideal situation for the plant disease.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
