Phytophthora austrocedri : Observatree guides

Phytophthora austrocedri is an aggressive fungus-like pathogen that causes extensive damage to juniper trees (Juniperus communis). The pathogen primarily attacks the roots of its hosts, and forms lesions which extend up into the stem base. The disease is nearly always fatal and has had a major impact on the vulnerable and already declining juniper woodlands in remote landscapes.
