Sudden Oak Death

Phytophthora ramorum, is responsible for widespread tree
mortality in Central and Northern California. It also affects more than 50 other plants such as rhododendron and viburnum, and can is likely to spread on infected nursery stock.

How to recognize symptoms

Symptoms on oak - Brown, water soaked lesions on bark and cambium, and into wood. Lesions under bark demarcated by black zone lines. Outside of bark, lesions seep or bleed an amber to black viscous sap with wine-like odor.

Cankers girdle trunk causing wilting of shoot tips and browning of foliage within several weeks to a few months.

Symptoms on Rhododendron - Brown - black lesions on leaves with fuzzy borders, penetrating through the leaf so that both sides are identical.
