Even the stately redwood, a California icon as well as a valuable timber product, may be vulnerable... http://www.usatoday.com/news/healthscience/science/biology/2002-04-09-oak-disease.htm I think I will get that soil sterilizer before they start mulching all these infected trees into bark amendments!

Posts: 171	Re: Sudden Oak Death Phytophthora ramorum Couldn't find the article that you are talking about for the life of me. But did you know it was a form of phytophthera that caused the Irish potato famine? This is a devastating disease. The Port Orford Cedars here in the Northwest are all dying from phytophthera. It is water born in the soil and almost impossible to stop. So does this article say anything about the beneficial fungis that are supposed to be so useful against root rots? Moni

Wow. The economic repercussions for Oregon are also huge. This could turn into a real horror story. We (in the Extension Office) were warned to be on the lookout for Sudden Oak Death a couple of years ago because live oaks are in plentiful supply here, too. But that was before they knew how it spread and how many varieties of plants it would infect. It sounds like the list of susceptible plants is still incomplete. The snake with wings analogy is very appropriate because, as I said before, this fungus is usually spread underground by water. This baby is air born. Wow. Rhodies and azaleas, too. Wow. Moni
