Sudden Oak Death is a disease caused by Phytophthora
ramorum, a fungus-like pathogen that has killed tens of thousands of oak trees
in California and is known to affect and kill other nursery plants including Viburnum. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has confirmed the
presence of Sudden Oak Death, a serious disease of oaks and many other plants, in plants
from a number of retail garden centres in the Vancouver area. The infected sites have been
placed under quarantine and the infected material is being destroyed. |
