Description
Coniferiporia weirii root rot is recognized first by the symptoms it induces in its hosts. Reduced terminal growth is usually the first symptom to appear, followed by yellowing (chlorosis) and thinning of crowns. Reduced growth rate is an attribute of tree infection. Particular attention is invited to the growth ring patterns visible in the images below.
