GardenBanter.co.uk - [IBC] Phytophthora in Calif.

Jim:

Thanks for the heads up. P. ramorum, of course, is responsible for the sudden
oak death disease that's devastated the coast live oaks in the Bay area. IRRC
that infestation was traced to contaminated camellias or rhododendrons that came
from Holland in the early 1990s. I have a dozen CLO seedlings going on my front
porch now. Ain't no camellias going to get near these.
