bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Sudden Oak Death (SOD) And Bonsai

Thanks, Alain. I am mostly familiar with Phytophthera root rots. They are very common here in the Pacific Northwest. These are water born in the soil. SOD is still fairly new to us. I did just read an article about a "new" SOD found that is European in origin and how that strain is more virulent than even the one first found in California. Now the concern seems to be whether these two strains will combine into something even worse.
