Hymenoscyphus fraxineus is an ascomycete fungus that causes ash dieback, a chronic fungal disease of ash trees in Europe characterised by leaf loss and crown dieback in infected trees. The fungus was first scientifically described in 2006 under the name Chalara fraxinea .
Twig dieback also starts apically and works towards the center of the plant. It is characterized by a slow necrosis of the branch, leaving large, dead limbs on the upper portions of trees. [2] Under the microscope, it can be identified by its immersed, pyriform perithecia (pear-shaped, spore-containing structures), which have a brown exterior wall.
This disease causes branch dieback and can ultimately kill shrubs and is recognizable by dark-colored galls on branches. Prune infected branches out by cutting several inches below the galls.
Rhododendron viscosum is also known as the swamp azalea, catch-fly azalea (due to sticky and glandular hairs), and clammy azalea. [1] Its large land area includes growth on the coastal area of Mississippi, and along the east coast from Florida to Maine. In addition to the coastal areas, the swamp azalea can be found inland in higher elevations.
Rhododendron ponticum showing classic symptoms of Phytophthora kernoviae in the UK. Phytophthora (from Greek φυτόν (phytón), "plant" and φθορά (phthorá), "destruction"; "the plant-destroyer") is a genus of plant-damaging oomycetes (water molds), whose member species cause economic losses on crops worldwide, as well as environmental damage in natural ecosystems.
It causes branch dieback, possibly affecting a large portion of the tree canopy, and if severe it can kill entire plants. [4] It was originally found on fallen fruit of Malus pumila in Great Britain and published and described by Berk as Sphaeropsis malorum in 1836 . [5] [2] With the epithet 'malorum' derived from the Latin for Apple. It is ...
Physical damage can also make the tree susceptible to the pathogen. The pathogen forms pink fungal blobs (indicative of its sexual stage) on the outside of dead wood which turn a reddish-brown color and become quite hard. The blobs are usually 1 to 4 mm in length. Other symptoms include small twigs and branches dying back and branch necrosis.
