Well normally they are which makes the sudden deaths so surprising and
difficult to explain. While most nursery grown plants are healthy the
odd bad one gets through, for instance in container grown plants you
can get the odd case of Phytophthora cinamomi (sp?) which is spread
through irrigation water on poorly drained standing grounds.
