849 So.2d 410 (2003)

Robert KIRCHGESSNER and Janette Kirchgessner, Appellant,
v.
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES, Appellee.

No. 5D03-775.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

July 8, 2003.

Robert W. and Janette L. Kirchgessner, Orlando, Pro Se.

Wesley R. Parsons and Jack R. Reiter of Adorno & Yoss, P.A., Miami, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Robert and Janette Kirchgessner appeal a final order issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, advising them that their citrus trees would be destroyed because the trees were either infected with citrus canker or were located within 1,900 feet of a canker-infested tree. We affirm the Department's order based on Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services v. Haire, 836 So.2d 1040 (Fla. 4th DCA), review granted, 842 So.2d 844 (Fla.2003). This affirmance is without prejudice to seek just compensation for the destruction of the trees having value, or such other relief as may be appropriate. Id. at 1050. The stay entered by the court is lifted.

AFFIRMED.

THOMPSON, PLEUS and ORFINGER, JJ., concur.
