  4. 1. Major Root Diseases a.Diseases of woody roots fungal bacterial b. Diseases of fine roots including vascular root diseases and damping off fungal nematode

  5. 2. Signs and Symptoms of Important Root Diseases

  6. Urban tree symptoms

  7. 3. Important structural root diseases in the Pacific Northwest a. Fungal Laminated root rot Armillaria root disease Annosus root and butt rot Schweinitzii root and butt rot (Velvet top fungus) b. Bacterial Crown gall

  8. Laminated root rot caused by Phellinusweirii (primary hosts - Douglas-fir, western hemlock) Armillaria root rot caused by Armillariaostoyae - previously known as Armillariamellea ( hosts – all woody plants- roses, rhododendrons, conifer and hardwood trees, etc.) Annosus root and butt rot caused by Heterobasidionannosum (primary hosts western hemlock, Douglas-fir, true firs, ponderosa pine, hardwoods – madrone, poplar); previously known as Fomesannosus Schweinitzii root and butt rot caused by Phaeolus schweinitzii - primary host – older Douglas-fir
