APHIS List of Regulated Hosts and Plants Proven or Associated with Phytophthora ramorum

Plants Associated with Phytophthora ramorum

Regulated as nursery stock.

Associated plants are those found naturally infected from which P. ramorum has been cultured and/or detected using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction).

Though not regulated and not requiring certification under P. ramorum regulations, these plants will be inspected in nurseries and Christmas tree plantations and, if symptoms observed, held from sale pending testing.
