Kauri dieback
Phytophthora agathidicida
Kauri dieback describes observed symptoms of ill health in Kauri trees, which include root rot and associated rot in a collar around the base of the tree, bleeding resin, yellowing and chlorosis of the leaves followed by extensive defoliation, and finally, death. Phytophthora agathidicida is an oomycete plant pathogen which affects the New Zealand kauri tree (Agathis australis) and has been the focus of the initial response to observed Kauri dieback.
